Have you ever seen a gang of monkeys on a football? That's what it looked like in the Crawliseum yesterday. We jumped on with a vengence and didn't stop stop 'till we got our rock on....



Thanks to Richard, Andy and Tony for all the help, the extra hands make alot of difference. All three of these guys are lurkers here.

Here's Richard layin' on the first round of mud. His masterful mixin' skills helped make the process less painfull.










I dabbed a little too.

This is what im talking about! Im down here in south texas and its really flat. I wish I had the place to do something like this. I know alot of people up north have built courses indoors due to weather. I wish someone would do this here due to not having any rocks!

Sounds like you're that "someone"....
Find a buddy with a empty barn and get started.

It was 2am by the the time we smeared on all the cement and cleaned up the tools. I let the heater run 'till 5:30, it was 60 degrees inside, 22 outside and 4 inches of fresh snow!

Looks great! I've got an old building that's completely covered expect for 2 windows, which could easily be boarded up. Very tempted to clean it out and put my rock course in there after seeing this!

Thanks! Sounds like you've got a good place to build a course too, take lots of pics! Getting started is the hardest part. Let me know if I can help anyway.

Lol!, Thanks.
I wish you were closer too, Colorado has some amazing DualSport motorcycle riding. Hancock Pass, California Pass etc.
Come on over to North Carolina, you're welcome at the Crawliseum anytime.

Yep, it's been hard if not impossible to stop improving and adding to it. A true compulsion.
The course is not that big really, it is packed in though. This is the first time I ever made anyone jealous with the size of my anything!
Keep watchin', we started another stick bridge that connects the new cement "mountain" to the rope bridge.
Thanks.

What are you using for heat? I seen your reddy heat, but don't it get expensive running them as much as your in there? I've got around 4 of them and they all run on diesel.
