Nothing new really going on as of late, just some rain, sun shine and some more rain. It's been very hectic and I haven't had much of a chance to work on anything at the trails.

So I finally made it out to the trails 2 days ago to finish reshaping the jump out of the 270 berm. I had to dig the pit before the lip about 18 inches deeper so water will not "pool" up whenever it rains. I also had to do major reconstruction to the lip itself. I had to shave it back about 6 inches and redo the transition since it was now coming out of a deeper whole.

All of that work was pretty difficult due to the fact that the last wind/rain storm (which floods San Marcos)knocked down about 3 or 4 trees. They are all laying in the middle of my line or hanging down over my line so you have to duck to get past them. I don't have any pics, but will be taking some later today (my bloodsugar was low and I couldn't sleep so that's why I am on here at 4am). The worst tree is about 20ft long and the top spreads about 15ft wide. It fell in the 270 berm and I don't know how I am going to move it. I will have to move it though because I can't finish shaping and packing the lip out of the turn until it's gone. Pics up later today or possibly tomorrow.

Texas Weather Report:
2 days ago it was 95 degrees with clear blue skies all day, and then it started to hail around 9 pm and flood the town.
Yesterday I woke up and expected rain all day and cloudy skies. That's not what we got. Instead it was 82 degrees and sunny clear skies all day. Now they are saying rain all day today. Let's see how this goes.

Hopefully it will not rain today (Tuesday), tomorrow or Thursday that way I'll be able to ride for the first time on Thursday. I want to ride and am curious if the spacing and timing is correct. If not, then I have more digging to do. But there is only one jump that I am really concerned about right now and I'll post about it if it doesn't work. It will just be made into a BIG racer/roller step up so you can manual it.

Whatever dude, I think I can finally go to sleep now. Peace.
