so, after two weekends of cleaning out grass, moving construction junk & digging out thorns/charcoal/glass, it was time to play (the whole right side still has to be de-grassed, un dug, and for the war shack..destroyed).

A mini wheelie after slipping the rear :)

since the camera was out, time to dig a hole with the rear wheel. My daughter later made that spot a mud hole..super slippery & super fun.

after I was done (and all my neighbors looked out & sighed...actually one poor neighbor was having a MahJong Pary right there to the left), this is what my yard looks like now.

Before I invite everybody over, I need to figure this logicstical issue out. My house is two stories, with the top story being street level. Since, it's SF that leaves no space on the sides. In other words, the bike has to be carried down the carpeted stairs inside, plus the stairs to the backyard. Going out is easy, but coming in was tricky and tracked dirt. Need to figure something out.

so after that was done, my daughter and I went to get ice cream and a helmet at cycle gear. She picked a badass blue thing with red flames...FN sick.

Anyhow, washed the fiddy off, then decided to take my daughter for a ride with her new gear at the local park. She's still sitting in front with me steering/balancing, but she learned throttle control (even did an accidental twevle oclock burnout on a incline, just don't tell my mom :)

One more weekend to clean and another for dump runs and the backyard will be done!!!!!!!!!

Looks good Mateo:thumbup

Can you push the back burm all the way to the fence so you have a little more room?

most def, it's that there is an old shed in the back right (it's to see, because it covered with ivy). I'm going to borrow a zaw-saw and bring it down next saturday. Also, above that, on the right, there is a fence buried in the dirt under all that grass. Thats sunday :)

maybe Harbor Freight has some cranks with a swinging arm or ramp ideas.

or figure out some kind of mini tire covers like tire warmers or something.

hmmm. honestly though, I see a shoes off h/w floor (or is that carpet?) and wouldn't be going back and forth indoors with the bikes period. how did you get your wife to agree the first time! :wow "carnegie" is right next to ya' anyways :p
