Building a jump trail, but I don’t know what I’m doing.

I've never used an excavator, but I want to build a jump trail anyways. Luckily for me, the people at Meadowbank MTB have let me loose on their trail network! Can I build a decent jump trail?

Excited for bc pov

@DexterGoneWild Жыл бұрын

Protip: You shouldn't be able to clear the jumps that easy when its fresh. Once they've had weeks/months to set, you're gonna be sending those to flat without trying! When it's freshly built, you should be casing the landings!

@JordanBoostmaster Жыл бұрын

looks pretty cool! But why don't you put clay on top as the surface? That will pack better than the sandy soil wouldn't it?

@kyleslater5245 Жыл бұрын

I think we have much different dirt to work with then they do Jordan…. Bc clay isn’t the same as Alberta clay. Never mind whatever that lumpy junk he had is.

@BCpov Жыл бұрын

It doesn’t pack well without moisture. Keep in mind this is close to pure clay. Not like the clay we have in bc which still has mineral content. Even if it did have moisture it would crack as it rains and dries.

We do the same, pure clay is like butter in the sun after rain. A thin layer of sand is a huge difference and the clay will creep trough eventually, making the layer concrete alike.

Love it! I've been an excavator operator for about 18 years and watching your learning experience and how the trail comes together is fantastic. I've only had the chance to build trails with machines a few times and man is it fun compared to civil and mining duties!

I can image moving dirt around and making things flat might be a little less exciting 🙂

Nice build. Our family ran into you and Yuka at Bright. Actually my wife and two boys did, I was climbing because i couldn't get a shuttle ticket! Keep the content rolling in. Keen to see the end of this project.

After digging with a shovel for 15 years I've found myself finally in the cab of a digger this year. I would love to have a tilt bucket like yours! Building crazy shapes without one is so hard. Keep up the good work dude! Can't wait to see the results.

Y’all should come down and try riding the McCall/Donnelly area in Idaho. There are endless trails of all varieties and it’s a lot closer drive than Bentonville! I personally think the trails are the best in Idaho, and so do most Idahoans.

Dude! We did the same thing to our taco Hoochie! We ended up having to drain the tank with the fuel pump because the drain on the tank was plugged and would not flow very well. But a flush of the primary filter and replacement of the secondary filter it fired up just fine just like you guys! And I was the one who put the petrol in the diesel can but I was under the impression it was diesel! So a tip for the not so wise always smell your diesel before putting it in your excavator!
