holla! been meaning to get on this for whhile since i had the old spot, but onwards and upwards….

long story short- i used to dig on my own/with a dude called bill near the end, in some “private” woods, nr glastonbury.

had a digger in before crimbo, all was going well, had like 15 jumps, loadsa stuff, got like 3/4 way through rough stacking stuff when the landowners “business partner/hunter/cock” came trolling on down, giving it the you cant dig here, theres badgers here, your intruding on my land blady blah. anyway, i went to see the landowner and he said that he would have a look at the jumps then let me know the situation…

i never heard back..

so i get a call from my main dude, who is slack, never helped build, park rat blady blah you know the type haha, saying that the landowners of this new spot wanted to meet us and show us the woods!

cut a long story short; we now have 8 acres of rolling downhill woods to play in, in the middle of nowhere.

boom!

if you want to read the whole story and about the whole thing go on (shameless plug here homer hahaha) digfourvictory.blogspot.com

so, its 10 minutes further drive for me, ten minutes less drive for all the f****ers that havent helped me over the past 3 years but ahwell, as stupid as it sounds, im more stoked on having people to dig with than having 8 acres of woods (which might i add is pretty much a dream come true…) theres only so much solo ipod sessioning any man can handle, and i have the upmost restecpa for the dudes who are still out there on there own making their dream happen! dig for victoryyyyyyyy! heres some photiods of the past 3 weekends work, only small stuff built so far, curvy fun-ness, then the boomers will be stacked, this weekend i think get to it!  

ahwell, huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge shout out to mc homer this is a savage idea, thanks for having such a great tasche!

Hi guys, been meaning to post some photos for a while now but only just got round to it. We’ve had jumps in these woods for nearly ten years now but they’ve always been a bit shit to be honest as we always do a couple month digging every year but don’t look after them so they  just rot away. So last October when most the locals couldn’t be bothered any more I thought fuck it  I’ll just go dig on my own and this is what I’ve done so far. Most of it might look a bit rough but just needs a final pat with some clay.

Some pics off my phone

Hello from the US Chicagoland area, this is our first post.. but there will be more to come!  I’ve been checkin out the site for a while and im real impressed.  Heres a little history on us.  We used to have a real strong scene here in the 90’s with 10-15 different trail spots within a 5 mile radius.  As people got older they moved to warmer places to dig, or quit riding. The younger generation of local riders grew up riding park, so trails kinda died, spots were abandoned or plowed.  Last year a few locals and I started digging, we now have 3 spots running strong and hope to continue re-building and expanding to new or old  spots. The ground is fronzen solid now with 10 inches of snow but as soon as the ground thaws out we’l be diggin.  Heres some pics from one of our spots, called Stony.

The first two pics are a before and after of the same spot 8 months later.

Heres two quick vids, I’d embed them but I don’t know how.  The first vid is from the right line, the second is the All- Weather line, with a roll in and lights for nightime, and lips made of concrete.

I’l try to post major updates here, but if you want to see more or get in touch drop us a message on here or check out our site thanks. http://708woods.blogspot.com/
