9/21 and 9/22/12 Falling Creek

 9/21/12
Friday afternoon I got out pretty late and only got in a few hours of dirt moving, really wasn't even worth taking any photos.  The ditch witch was still getting hot making the trip back and fourth from the dirt piles.  A big front loader would be awesome but this is the largest jump we'll work on and the rest wont take as much dirt or time. Randy got out there after he got off work and helped spread some dirt around on the landing.  We got in a few runs to end the day.

  9/22/12
It's the first day of fall and it's really nice, Fall and Spring are the time to ride and be outside.  The weather has been amazing lately, I really couldn't ask for better weather. We could use another rain like we got Monday and Tuesday to get everything packed in some more. The dirt is back to the sandy, dusty consistency that it normally is. It's easy to move that way but it doesn't pack, I need to get a water source.

I met Randy Saturday morning at Falling Creek to primarily work on one jump.  The jump will be the larger one on this line and is taking a good bit of dirt.  I'm building all these to be comfortably rideable on a wide variety of bikes as long as you have some jumping ability. 

Kyle from Lynchburg showed up near the end of the day.  He snapped a few photos, helped us stomp in some fresh dirt and got in a few runs.  We got the jump done enough to give it a try and learn that the landing was short.  The landing will take atleast another 3-5 feet of length added to it.  I'm gonna try to get out tomorrow to get some more dirt on the landing.  I don't like leaving things incomplete, the jump is safe but overshooting a jump is no fun.  To make it proper it needs more dirt and I'd like to get it on there before the next rain so that all of the jump settles together.  Blah blah blah, Pics....



corners are fun
