Tools Needed:
·Shovels - the number of shovels needed depends on the number of riders that work at the trail have at least two of each so more than one person can work at as time and there is always an extra.
·Hoe - Digs up dirt and can be used to carve out lips.
·Wheelbarrow - to build jumps up quicker and to move good dirt (like clay or loom) from one place to where you’re building, also can hold all tools when done.
·Roller/Bikes - the roller is used 2 smooth out the jumps and smooth out surrounding areas; bikes can be used for the same thing.
·Water - if you have a hose it works the best but water is needed to harden jumps (explained later).
·Friends - always better to ride with friends also helps to have them around just in case anyone gets hurts.
·You may also require lawnmowers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, etc to clear out a spot to build.

In case you missed the announcement earlier there is currently a charity auction up for the benefit of Stephen Murray’s Recovery. www.charityfolks.com/astdropsin
Stephen Murray is a pro BMX Dirt Jumper who was injured recently at the 1st stop of the AST Dew Tour. He crushed his 3,4 and 5th cervical vertebrae and consequently suffered some damage to his spinal chord. He is currently in Colorado undergoing rehabilitation like a mechanical bicycle that pedals for him!
The support around the world has been truly amazing and your dollars that you donated have already been put to use for things like the air ambulance that transported him from the Shock Trauma Unit in Baltimore to the rehab center in Colorado.

This little video shows you how to not fix your wheel :D.

If you are having trouble with your brakes, specifically the type of trouble that involves your brake pads not hitting the rim correctly, then this might help. First loosen whatever bolts hold your pads in place. Don't take them off, just loosen them. Then, take a good burly zip tie and position it so that it holds the brakes together(i.e. in the stopping position) and crank that sucker down hard. Theoretically, your pads will both be making the maximum amount of contact with the rim. Now, while holding the pads in place, because the zip tie will always need some assistance when Mr. Wrench enters the fray, tighten down all your bolts. If you did it right, you should at least see a marginal improvement, and if you're like some people I know, any improvement in braking means less injuries and more ride time. See, I have just improved your life drastically.
Despite the rain that forced to cancel the event, there was still plenty of riding done. Check out the highlights in this video.
