Wow, I got ALOT done yesterday. have some progress pics I'll post up later.

I had so much brush, weeds, branches and sticks grown up so high that i completely forgot i had a pretty nice size double back there, so I'm going to reshape it and keep it. why not have some dirt jumps there too? Laughing

mojo, I thought about that too!!! haha. jumping it on a 50 will be so fun.

Basically what I'm aiming for is a place where we can chill out and bar-b-que and have some picnic tables out there and winch and ride bmx and chill.

Ok, this is the pond after a day of working on it, if you look to the right, you can see all those little trees and huge brush grown up high, full of thorns, branches, poison ivy and snakes!

Here you can see the tree that fell into it (which we uprooted with a 4wheeler and drug into the burn pile today)

This is all the brush that used to be back there at the bottom of the screen, you can see how much i cleared out already. took a chainsaw, weed eater, lawnmower and alot of picking up branches.

Burn pile!

Wow you can actually see between the pond and woods now! Here are the dirt jumps i found, all the brown around them was all brush from years of just cutting the grass around them i guess. i'm gunna throw my trampoline back there, if i can get someone to help me drag it.

another view of the jumps, i reshaped them a bit just so i could session them this afternoon, but they are going to be built up higher soon, they need to be much bigger and steeper

This is a view from the woods, the starting pool is going to go threw trees to give you a trail riding feel, it's gunna be sick wakeskating threw the woods and drop into the pond. i'm cutting those two baby trees down in the morning. then have to clear out all that stuff on the edge of the pond. This is where the pool will be built

Gettin' clearer! Been raking all of that seaweed out. the pics make it look smaller but you can see there's plenty of room for landing.

Still need to buy something to kill the rest of it, the some dye to dye the pond blue. it should look really cool.

I'll post more as it progresses.

soy escuala, dude that looks good. keep it up! i know building a spot by hand isnt easy nor fun by yourself...

Kid512 · Posted: Apr 07, 2009 10:53 pm Post subject:

soy escuala, i'd think twice (maybe even three times) about the dye, it turns out like a really cyan blue really fake looking...but maybe you are goin for the FAKE look, idk i'm not a witchdoctor.

damn you did a shizzle load in a short time, btw nice.

Kid512, I know. I want it fake looking. was going to go with red or purple dye but thought it would just be too extreme haha. but the blue should be cool. alot of my neighbors have theirs dyed blue, it looks dope. Another thing about the dye is that if you put too much it takes all of the oxygen out of the water and kills all of the fish, which is what i'm going to do to get the snakes and turtles out and turn the pond over where nothing lives in it. Thanks for those pics btw.

soy escuala, yeah no problem.

theres never a time when its "too" EXTREME

the purple sounds sick, or sunkist orange.

OR

put a damn in the middle and have it both colors on each side. Cool
