I hate yard work. Seems like an endless loosing battle involving lots of hard work with minimal payout.
I decided to make my backyard into a mt biking skills area instead of grass. I've got three drops, a log ramp, a log-rock-log ramp, an unfinished log roll, two ladders and a teeter-toter. All things that give me the heebie-jeebies when I'm out on the trails and now I can practice at home.
