Building Dirt Jumps by hand - Repairing damage, making improvements and building new lines

  • Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
  • After a long riding season, the trails need repairs and tweaks to make the next season even better. It's a time to put down the bike and think about what you want to ride next year, what can we build!??
    I've been lucky enough to build trails with this crew for many years- I started to film our progress in 2012 and have made yearly videos since. This is a remastered version of a video first made in 2016 with added shots I have since found on old computers.
    This is the last year that I made one video to show everything we had done, choosing to go for a series of shorter videos instead. I plan to put these short videos together to make one more trail building megamix which will be online in 2 weeks. Please subscribe if you want to check it out.

    When I got a house with enough space I'll make some dirt jumps and mountain bike trails, probably won't be as big as these ones but will surely be a blast like these ones.

    U kno, I love this video, because It shows me that some people in the world have actually packable dirt, unlike me. I've tried so much, over and over, but I just don't have the type of dirt for it, my dirt is black plain, it just sticks to the back of the shovel over and over, and is terrible. People say that the type of dirt u work with doesn't even matter, but I've found that to be false.
    Help anyone? Dirt specifics?

    I have been recently working on jumps and it takes forever to harden. Do you have any tips on watering and packing to prevent this?

    • @justkeepdigging1956
      @justkeepdigging1956  4 года назад

      Technique will vary according to what kind of dirt you are using. Make sure the dirt is damp but not too wet and keep slapping with your shovel until you can't take anymore! We also find our jumps harden a lot quicker if they are in the section that is open to the sun- in the shaded areas it can take way longer. Hope that helps.
