I put this up in the DH forum but then realized it was probably more interesting for you guys. Sorry for the double post.
Here are some Iphone pics from the last couple of days. I started building some dirt jumps in a little town called Plaffein, Switzerland. I have a day and a half done and another two days of digger time to finish. I am happy with the progress and it should be a fun spot to ride. Thought you guys might like to see.
I was stoked on the big trucks of dirt (16 cubic meters) but after the second one the asphalt on the road started to get big cracks and I didn't want to destroy the road so I asked for 4 axle trucks instead.
The local kids were helping me filter the dirt all day.
Making good progress. This shot was taken after a little over a day of building.
These 3 little dudes have so much pop. I am stoked to give them bigger and better jumps.
Check the size of the landing and how stoked they are.
The digger gets the bowls pretty close then I have to filter the dirt with the wheelbarrow and lay down some fine stuff on the top.
After digging all day we had a fun BBQ mini ramp session.
Some train shuttles over the weekend.
I am going to ride some train shuttles again today before going back to digging on Monday. I will put up some more pics as the spot progresses.
