This former mess....

[SANITARY ENGINEER]

turned out rather nicely. Wicked easy coast going down, and a fairly easy grunt going up. Can't take all the credit for this slick bit of engineering. Though I will grab an assist.

Don't ask cause if I told y'all where it was I'd hafta rub youse all out....Then there'd be no one left to ride it.:D

So sorry S.E. Looks like the monkey is out of the bag.
I must of been hung over from yesterday, out working on a new project i had too much to drink and fell asleep on a potential new log feature. Woke up with ticks all over me.
By the way, where'd you get that suit...Men's Warehouse???

Well I usually try to avoid monkeys packing heat. Especially those that are dressed better than me. I say let them go Ape over a dog log. Me, I got some ideas for a technical line up and over this little jem.

[MtnBkr]

^^WO! Where is that? thats looks awesome...that would definitley be a place to build techincal stuff like you said...

[errollthin]

Now I understand why I never really thought those carreer finder.com commercials wern't funny. That guy was working with monkeys I'm riding with them! Norm technical it up buddy!

[errollthin]

Our tradition in the DSF is to ride the festivus log (If you can stay on).

[S2RT]

I stayed on while riding the log. What you see above is the result of my finely tuned "Park the bike while executing a rolling dismount" manuever. :D

The festivus log is located deep in the heart of the dracut tyngsboro lowell state forest.

[mcstumpy]

We had a ton of fun on this Sunday morning.... THANK YOU for building this little gem of a log roll. Great footage for our annual video on this baby. :rad:

How do you make a cut like that?

[S2RT]

It's a proprietary method, used only by the great and powerful King Duffbuster. ;)

thank you

It was vertically cut with a chainsaw at six inch intervals for the length of the log, approx 4in deep, then I used a sharpened chisel ended rock bar to chip out the sections.
