    so the super secret trail would have been more fun?
    Oh, wait, it was perfect today, the dirt was nice and tacky :D:p\\:D/:wave::lol::lol::lol:
    just messing, you guys should get one of those handheld things that chew up dirt..
    you can rent them for the day.

    sloshes too much though, you end up with like 3 gallons of water by the time you actually get to where you need it.

    we were thinking some painter's plastic, heat sealed around the edges. less slosh=more water=more jumps built=awesomeness.

    3mil plastic is $95/roll though, so we may need to double up with the cheaper stuff... my dad also mentioned just getting a bunch of trashcans :?:

    pshh, this ground would DOMINATE a handheld rototiller. we have a jackhammer for that stuff...

    yeah... the weight of the water picking up speed through sloshing will blow the seams out of your heatsealed "bag" LOL

    trashcans are your best (and most rigid) solution

    yeah...if everyone buys one $11 20gal trashcan, that's a lot of water. just a matter of sealing the tops for transit :-k

    looks like rain

    seems to be some rain coming this week. tuesday, wednesday, friday, and saturday of the coming week have a pretty good chance of rain.

    maybe we could put together a work expedition later in the week? (friday or saturday maybe). also could discuss some other things...

    just sayin...I'll also have the new bike, so I'd be down to screw around on the existing jumps there too :bang:

    I'd say friday or saturday. that way we'll have the rain from earlier in the week hopefully helping a little before, plus whatever happens that day...

    Si Senor. He was a nice guy however. More just giving us a parking warning than a hard time. Meet me at 3pm at the Orange Y tomorrow. Bring the DJ bike.
