Every trail needs one.
Danger4u2:
What am I doing digging a big hole in the middle of the trail? No, it's not a good start on a place to park my CR500.
BDI:
I've dug a couple of those in my time but I never thought about posting pictures of it. I guess if you dont show a picture of the body they can't prove anything :wink:

Every trail needs a good tire obstacle. Ever since I did the big tires at Crosstimbers riding area I've wanted a set on my trail. I saw this set in a trash pile at a construction site the other day. I called the developer on the sign and he put me in touch with the contractor who said he would call the sub contractor to see if I could have them. He called the next morning and said I could have them. Everyone was real cool about it. I guess it never hurts to ask.
The main thing about placing the tires is to get the hole right the first time. I learned that the hard way, I did not have the shape correct and had to roll the tire out of the hole by myself. I did a little measuring and shaped the hole with a flat tipped pick. After placing the tires I drilled holes in the bottom so I wouldn't have a floating problem. I learned a drill bit for steel does not work well. There not steel belted so I tried a wood drill bit. What I call a paddle bit. ( I'm not a carpenter) Blasted right through the rubber as easy as wood. I went ahead and drilled a hole in the side wall on the top side and installed a bolt with big washers so the tires will not spread over time.
There are a couple of dead trees in the area, I plan to cut them down and stack logs on both sides like a ramp. These tires aren't near as big but should still be fun. I did leave enough room for newbie's to go around if they don't want to try the tires.
I just noticed I need to change the date on todays pictures.
