SEND IT FROM THE GROUND UP
The Dirtkhana series showcases the collaboration between Trimble, world class civil contractors and premier BMX, mountain bike and motocross athletes. Together, we’re building riding environments—unrivaled in creativity, precision and fun. The word Dirtkhana is derived from the ancient Gymkhana, a skill-based contest. Check out the films below, our dirt pros are the best of the best at sending it from the ground up.

About
Simply put, Jake Hatch is a one man skid steer stunt show. His company, Black Sheep Skid, is as much an entertainment business as a dirt moving enterprise. As comfortable performing on site as he is in a demolition derby or monster truck rally, Jake works a skid steer with a precision and style the construction world has never experienced. As one example, also holds the current world record for "longest wheelie in a skid loader.” Look it up.

“Most people probably think I was never told what a skid steer was originally designed for. This machine has always just made sense to me.”
