When Your Buddy Hits The Trials Lottery....

It is a rare occasion these days to meet someone who hits that "Trials Lotto". What is this "Trials Lotto" I speak of? Well simply put it is when you have the opportunity to ride more or different things than you were able to with out overhauling your life. In this story it is something very similar for a good friend of mine ZippysGasGas... See not too long ago he moved into another house. He has been really busy working on it and around the property in general. A few months back he started talking about having a few trees dropped... Well we have all had a few trees and logs placed in the yard so I don't think any of us gave it too much thought on what he was trying to say. I had even been over to his new place a few times to consume a beer or two but didn't notice what he was talking about. 

 

So about a month ago he sent us all a bunch of pictures of a huge logging company who came in to do the dirty deed. Again pictures didn't really do it justice. Riding season took hold and we have all really been just doing our thing in our regular areas. Then a few weeks ago I borrowed his enduro bike to go tear up the woods. Upon returning the bike I discovered that I and the rest of us had clearly mis-understood what had happened to our friend here. He hit the Trials Lottery! 

 

Now with the Trials Lottery you have to manage your resources. There is the Mrs... She needs to be kept happy while you plan around things. Then there are other resources such as moving devices, beer, moving help, more beer and finally some water to offset the beer. Well for all intensive purposes our friend Zippy here has landed dead on with every resource. His Mrs. has let us tear up the lawn with a rented BobCat. It was very humid yesterday and we all got very worn out but it is an epic playground. The stumps alone have to be 6 feet (2M) tall just from the ground level. 

 

Thanks for a fun Sunday Zippy and congrats! Don't let all of your fame and fortune go to your head!

My work shop is the detached garage to the right of the house, harder for the Mrs to come bother me.  :D

 

I only have about 1/2 acre of property and the neighbors are super close.  

but they are alright and trials bikes are quiet (ish)

Big thanks to Biffsgasgas and Robertsgasgas for coming to help.  Here is an "aerial" view.

 

And the Mrs. is really supportive, she really doesn't care that I did this.

The neighbors just probably thought funny sounding chain saws today ... I've always fired up my bikes when houses on either side have been shown or sold .... buyer beware ! I've been here riding in my yard for 15 years !! and you ain't moving in and changing that !!! But I do have just over a acre and some woods ...
