This spring started off a little differently than most. All winter I was thinking of how I could make my jumps into an actual good training ground and fun place to ride. After getting lucky with an early spring I knew I had to try, or at least change how my jumps were before. However, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. I was basically alone to build this project other than machine operation and the odd hand here and there, it was a solo mission. The first week of February was when I first started marking out spots for landings and ramps, and was lucky enough to get a backhoe in there to build up landings and move ramps around. It took me until last week of April to finally have my main line done and riding, and still 2-3 weeks more until things were dialed.
I also had the idea of making a video this spring, one that would show the build project and riding it when it's finished. I was lucky enough to have my good friend Keiton Grenier to film and shoot, but with average quality camera's, lack of camera gear and only our skill to work with it was still going to be a challenge. We ran into lots of problems trying to film and in the end it got the best of us, on the last day of filming my wheel folded second hit into the session, making us call it for this one. We're still pretty happy with what we got for this edit, and stoked that there's room for improvement and a bigger and better video in the future.

This video is mostly to show the enormous build process and weeks of work put into building my jumps into a legitimate spot, as well as Riding, filming and editing this video all myself. Thanks to Keiton for filming, couldn't have been done without him. Enjoy!
Thanks to everyone who was involved and helped out.
