We don't have leaves anymore here in Cali... haha! I just hoe the top inch of crap off and use a tine-in rake to stir everything up, then pack in jumps and ride!

Having issues with a guy removing the boulders in a jump. Second time it has happened sadly. Thinking of making a wire cage and stacking the boulders in the cage then cementing the boulders together. Its a lot of work but thinking itll only take a day at most and hopefully itll prevent the guy from taking the meat of the jump out. You guys build anything like above?

A lot of trash we put inside a jump, covered with mud and called it a day. Still have yet to finish. Should rain tomorrow.

You put your trash in your jumps?

Thats only going to decay over time and create voids.

Back to the wire cage topic; Liquid nails

A lot easier to use since I can put that into my pack and use a calking gun vs having to hike bags of cement to the spot and having to haul water from the creek that is about 500 yards away.

Also thinking of getting rebar and pounding that into the ground prior to placing the cage and filling it boulders. This provide the cage to be stable preventing anyone from being able to tip it over. I will be having to slam the pilings through shale so it should have a good base for strength.

Over kill yes, why am I doing this? Because I literally hate the guy who keeps doing this and would love to him try to mess up the jumps after all the said is done.

I guess that would work fine, especially if you make it awkward enough it cant be moved at all. Just remember if you wanna adjust anything in the future... You have to move it Also, make sure there's nothing sticking at a angle that if the jump wears down could impale someone... Wouldnt be very nice.

In GA we have lots of leaves in the woods. Blower running out of gas when clearing new trail is frustrating. Gotta walk all the way back to house just for some stupid gas. And can't ride with gas can well and then have to take can back up when done. Or walking with blower, fill it up, walk back is just a pita.

Fuuuuuck strava man, it's such utter bullshit, my local little hill has trails that are around the 40-50 second mark, yet there are strava times in the high 20 seconds ! People will do anything to get a good time , including missing half the corners, so sad. It's like people can't just be happy to ride cool trails every weekend and they feel the need to prove to every one that they did.

I just finished a home trail that went through about 8 gopher holes. I filled them in and smothed it out but the dog could smell them and one day I went riding down the trail and there where burms in the trail that I did not put there.

Can't say anyone has done that to the locations I keep in stealth mode but, no kidding. ...a few years ago I took some pics of these abandoned shorty VW buses in the woods near my parents house...they had been there for no doubt 20, 25 years. I posted the pics on Facebook but made no mention of where they were. Next thing I know, they were gone. (Time frame was about 5, 6 days after posting the pics on FB). A fluke? Hard to say...

Sucked cause I was concocting a way to build them into a freeride feature
