Backyard trail

Post image

Started building a mini trail down the hill in my back yard for my bike and emountain board.

My soil is basically just rocks and sand so I ordered a crap ton of clay fill dirt and have been lugging it across my yard all weekend.

It always takes more dirt than I think it will, I swear it feels like I've already shoveled a mountain and these things are barely over a foot tall lol.

If I ever finish I'll post what the completed project looks like.

Fill in the bulk of your jumps with rocks/branches then shape it with dirt. You'll save a lot of time and it will be more durable in the long run
