Backyard Pump Track, Logan Utah

A year ago I went completely berserk and shoveled a lifetimes worth of dirt in three weeks. Literally, every waking moment that I was not at work I could be found, like a mad man, in the backyard, throwing enough dirt to cover ten years worth of mafia mischief. What made me think this was a good idea: www.leelikesbikes.com

I purchased Lee's book on building backyard pump tracks. It was well worth the nominal fee. The book, as well as crazy videos of stale backyards turned biking wonderlands, lured me into the two wheeled dream. It was a total blast while it lasted. The pump track only saw one good season of riding and is now missed by all who railed her berms, rollers, and jumps. Bennett (Jason's son) will probably miss the track more than anyone. He could hardly believe I would tear it down to prep for a boring lawn. Sorry Bennett.
