Looks good - I threw a bit more on the left side of the lip and landing
Also worked on the roller and Paul and I were working on the hip line and table combo
Things are starting to shape up!

Not one single piece of garbage at greenland is mine. not one. Today I am bringing garbage bags and I'm going to start bagging up some stuff. I am worried about complaints from all the new residents, dog walkers, golfers etc.
WAY too much work has gone into these trails to ignore this...PLUS we can enjoy this beautiful spot that we call our own
to the fullest!Smile

one of the kids started carving up the lip on the first jump of the right line and I was was like "woah woah woah what are you doing man" damage averted!

Nice stuff guys, not a piece of it is mine either but it's crazy to see how fast it accumulates. I remember about 2 years ago I think it was I was alone at greenland for the day and forgot to bring a shovel but the jumps were in terrible shape so I couldn't ride them so I didn't have much to do and I actually spent the entire day picking up every single piece of trash in the entire vicinity till there was absolutely nothing left anywhere.

I remember seeing how much was lying around by the end of last season and thinking it was nuts how much had piled up over the course of just a couple seasons. I don't think I ever actually see anyone littering either which is kind of weird or I'd tell them off.

I don't think we (the core users/builders) are the main culprit in who is creating so much trash. But we really do need to clean it up, it's pretty gross.

If people go out there just to smoke weed, that will probably be who's leaving the litter.

Ya, agreed. I know that us usual guys aren't the problem, but we get blamed for it. We should try to clean it up while we're still building and not really riding
