Need inspiration for building

Hi everyone, I have a fun set of dirt jumps that I want to increase the size of significantly. There’s plenty of good dirt available at the spot, but I’m looking to speed things up by building some log retaining walls for at least one of the landings. It would save me a lot of time and maintenance. Does anyone have some good build photos for inspo? They don’t even have to be your own jumps. Somehow I can’t find what I’m looking for. Thanks!

Favorite chainsaw protective climbing pant?

As the title suggests, I’m considering purchasing a pair of chainsaw protective pants for climbing. I live in the US, where they are not required but it seems like it may be a good thing to have. On the ground, I’m pretty good about using chaps but admittedly, I don’t always use them. Especially just to make a few cuts. At least if I had those, I would always have some amount of protection. If you have a pair, do you actually wear them? Are they bearable on hot summer days? Any recommendations or insight would be very much appreciated.

Added another top handle to the arsenal. I’ve been running the Milwaukee and it’s been great, but I decided it was time to have a gasser as well. The size and weight difference is wild. The 2511 is lighter than the Milwaukee, even without a battery in it. Today was my first day using the echo, and it was pretty good. Really jumpy though. It feels like the rakers are too low on the factory chain. It wants to bite too hard for the amount of power it has. Maybe I just need to touch up the chain a bit by hand. Mostly just wanted to show the size difference between the 2. Overall I’m happy with it and excited to see how it runs after being fully broken in.
