When you go to the town dump and ask the workers there if they would like some of the scrap wood hauled away for free.
When you come home from school, and you are building from 2:30- 8:00 at night.
When you always have nails in your pocket.
When you are obsessed w/ getting a rock out of the ground, and you work at it for 5+ hours.
When your fingernails have about a pound of dirt under them.
When you envy other places dirt.
When you go to the beach and build a mini-set of dirt jumps in the sand.
When you ask for a pick-ax and shovel for christmas.

1. taint done yet --- put the ToDo list in a comment with the video

2. local freeridey trail we ride at.


what you see here was/is just a quick build making sure it's gonna work.

wasn't sure the 18 foot plank would do the trick --- l think 20 foot (which is a precut option) would be too long....
16 or 17 foot too short.


the re-build, l'm going to re-cut the connection pieces so the base is hard core stable --

i.e. profile, the base will be wider than the top -- like this -----> / \

When a work mate asks for a lift home and you have to say no because your Fiesta is loaded up with rakes , mattocks and long handle digging tools...
