9/19/12 Falling Creek

I headed back out to Falling Creek today to hopefully get in the next jump. John met me out there and when we got there Kenny was already moving dirt for the jump. We got a little more dirt moved but the ditch witch wasn't liking the long trips back and fourth from the dirt piles. Chris got there after he got off work and around the same time John was on his way out. We got a little more dirt moved onto the jump and then decided to work on something a little closer to the dirt piles since the ditch witch was running a little hot. We ended up moving a roller and working on the exit and entrance of two berms. Seth made it out right before dark and helped us pack some stuff in. I got to make 2 good runs right at dark and I'm really looking forward to getting back out there.  The dirt was the best I'd seen it and that's a day after multiple days of raining worth about 2.5 inches.  Not only did the dirt dig and pack well but it also had stupid amounts of grip, maybe the grippiest dirt I've ridden.   Sorry for the crap photos but I guess some is better then none.  Pictures are showing the opened exit of the berm that leads into the new roller and the downside of the new roller leads right into the next berm.  We also added some top soil to one of the lips to help stop it from cracking, it's primarily clay and baking in the sun.
