carpet + rain + D.N.K.

It has been raining about once a week here for the last couple of weeks. Normally I'd say that is good, and I'm not saying that it's bad, just bad timing.

Thankfully I now have every jump covered with carpet. I went out to see what kind of damage had been done by the rain and luckily not much. Carpet is a blessing! The pits were holding a little water so I had to dig drains for a couple of them. I knew eventually I'd have to do it and now is the time.

I started digging a completely new line a couple weeks ago. Right now I have a decent sized double, a little down roller into a pit with a roller up and out to a lip. I'm not really sure how it's going to work but I bet it will be just fine. The landing I'm working on now is over 6ft wide at the base and should be no shorter than 6ft tall. That is really tall for me since I'm really the only one putting in some shovel hours (hint hint to anybody that rides here).

Glen has decided that he wants to build a wall ride in the 270 berm and paint it camo! Why? I don't know. It would be fun, but I'd rather dig and finish this new line and start on my downhill line instead of work for a couple days on a wall. Shoveling is hard work so I'd rather get it done. I don't have much motivation right now to dig. I have finals this week and next week plus it rained. What is so weird, I'd rather dig when it's moist or dry than dig when it's wet. The digging gets done much faster that way, but the packing of everything new takes a good bit longer.

From the rain last week I dug some pits out and made lips about 1ft thicker and a little steeper.

No pics yet. As soo as it dries up and I'm able to ride I'll get some photos of the beautifully shaded, green, no wind and 90% humidity trails that I've been working on for over a year now.

Peace Playa,
