    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 Рік тому +2

      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
      @BCpov  Рік тому +26

      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.

    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!

    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!

    Hi Eric I was lucky enough to see you in derby when you were riding with Yuka.
    a few months earlier I was even lucky enough to ride at meadow bank due to a close friend who's related to the owner of the place.
    even driving up in the buggy to the top was a mission. love your videos hope to see more vids like this

    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!
