8/26/2006 - the pump track starts to take shape

This weekend I managed to have 5 yards of topsoil delivered and got started on the berms. Whoa, this is a lot of work!! Hopefully it will be worth it. Over the next few weekends I will be finishing the berms off and adding more rollers. I figure I'm going to need another 10-15 yards of topsoil. Whewwwwww.

8/20/2006 - New project bike.... Kona Cowan

My new Kona Cowan frame and Manitou Gold Series 2 fork are in. This will be a dedicated pump track bike.

Stay tuned...

8/12/2006 - Lets build a pump track...

Decided a few weeks ago that I was going to build a pump track in moms backyard. We recently had some work done in the backyard and what was once a garden is now an empty patch of dirt about 30' x 50'. What better place to build a pump track!! So, today I took the Mojo out and just started riding around in circles to see what sort of track design I could come up with. Ended up with a figure eight type layout with 2 large turns at each end.

Next weekend I'll be having some topsoil delivered so I can start building the berms and eventually the rollers.
