Austin beside the lip and RIchard rolling the landing
Glass, concrete, car parts, bricks, and more garbage then you can believe. We have come across some terrible shit when digging. The absolute worst has to be 1.5m x .75m wide concrete slabs that we come across…the last one took 5 guys.

Every single drop of sweat is worth it to me. Riding any jump for the first time is awesome, and the feeling you get when you guinea pig it is even better. Sometimes it takes that push from someone else to put the shovel down and ride the mainline that you’ve been building for 2 months. We started March 1, 2010 and on May 1, 2010 we rode the first 2 jumps of mainline, and we didn’t really know if it was going to work perfect. It’s easy to say that there was some disbelief that anything would “work” at Lucky; it wasn’t jumps in a straight line for them, I don’t think we really have a straight jump yet… it will come, and so will the satellite dish.

Seeds are being planted, wheelbarrows are being fixed, and dirt is piling. 2 months in, and it’s great to have trails after 2 years of nothing. Chucky Bones, is in our distant past, it was torn down by the Province of Alberta 2 years ago, going into it’s 5th summer.
Lucky is working. People are contributing, arguing, building, and learning…the whole process starts again.
Saturday we rode main line, and it worked perfect. Once the landings get rock hard (we have very little, if any clay…yet) everything will work just fine. Everyone’s been diggin together for a while now…some up to 15 years, so HERE’S to 5 more years in the woods. For more posts and other random BMX stuff check out ShuVLBMX.
