20+ hours on a digger

**CRF119** · 30th October 2008, 12:42

Im not sure how every body else spent there Labour weekend but i spent most of the time on a digger and turned up to work on tuesday like i hadn't slept all weekend, because i really hadn't slept much at all.

The track is what id call my home track, although i dont live there i spent most of my time there and after the wet winter the track had very little use and we also had alot of dirt droped off to be shapped into somthing ridable.

Here are a few pics off me and my mate testing a few of the jumps, They aren't big but enought to have fun on.

1 has already claimed the person who lives there.

2nd and 3rd pic your blade should be at the back in case it wants to slide , 2nd pic your arm should be in close as I see you have a full bucket.

And ways congrats good stuff, Diggers are fun

i would have said there was some reasonable air under those wheels.

So where is this secret place?? PM me LOL!!

I see that there is a lot of the track not being used!!!

I mean the areas where I land a jump compared to you?? You may want to invite me along so someone can tell you how the top and downside of the jumps feel!!!!

Good stuff CRF!! Impressive! Lucky bugger!!

You just need to twist the right hand a bit more as for the landing youll figure that one out (what gose up must come down) as long as you dont tense up youll be right.

looks pretty close to nearby houses, is that going to be an issue?

I Havnt been taught how to use a digger so bucket was extend to help stop flipping back. lol. If you go fast enought backward then forward you can wheelie for about 2meters lol.

The table top i over jumped and landed on the flat thought i was going to be carted off but the shocks soaked it up fine!

Na we have nice neighbours and you can see the zoo animals from the step down lol.

Track has been there for 10 years or so just not that big.

haha wanabe digger operators, it wasnt going to go far but you have the blade at the front, so you can dig it in if it was going to slide, like a bulldozer. it will just skim along behind you and not stop you/dig in, if at the back. i could wright a book, 8 years experience.
im sure your just having fun, play away!

i call my slef a differ player not a operator, but shouldnt the blade be down at the rear if you are operationg on a slope?? it what i was told from my old boss who has about 40 years experiance?? the pic where he walking it im wrong lol my bad.

and yes not a operator just a player
