novice size portable table top jump. The jump
behind us is a novice size log roll top.
Revetted wall complete. Steve's dog "Bob" in the
foreground. This arrangement of "cribbing" behind
the wall is what gives it it's strength.

Linda Cain laying down on the job. We had to hold
the liner down somehow, it was getting windy!
Gravel laid on the approach ramp. Steve Buckman
and John Fox installing the drain and overflow pipe
fittings.
Revetted wall backfilled and liner in place.
Sheryn worked every day on this project. Thanks
Sheryn, you're a star!
Starting to lay the gravel footing.
We have water in the water jump! The gravel footing
was laid on Wednesday, and this photo was taken on
Saturday, after a record rainfall on Thursday,
October 17, 2003. The facing boards are almost
complete on the revetted wall.
Gravel footing finally laid down. Robbie says,
"Sheryn, are we really done? I think I have
hypothermia!"
Novice/Training Ditch.  It's NOT supposed to have
water in it, that will be remedied this spring when
the two smaller ditch jumps are built.
