Hi all,

I got permission to start building dirtjumps in a friend's backyard. There's an old motocross/supercross track and the jumps are a good height to build dirtjumps from. The problem is the whole place is overgrown with thick grass and weeds. Does anyone know a method how to remove the grass so I can start digging? The grass is a foot high in some places and there already grew some small trees, here's a picture:

Thanks

I'd start with weed spray, and that will make it much easier to dig the dirt.

Get some hyrdochloric acid, works a treat

Is the picture broken?
Anyways I'd just mow the jumps and just ride the sh*t out of them with all my buds until the stuff starts dying. If your friends don't want to ride then get a weed eater and wack all the grass on the jumps. Or get a moto and keep jumping. So many possibilities!

Might not be the best solution for winter in Canada, but soil solarization has worked well for me in California. Only takes a few days if the sun is strong enough and you will be improving the soil instead of poisoning it.
