I'm a bit confussed, what sort of track is it? I thought fun XC, but I wouldn't like doing that drop off the boulders with my seat up XC stylee.
Good to see some quality work being done, and finnishing it as you go

The bridge, boulders and drop are the beginning of an intermediate/expert skills area. There will be more obstacles and stunts built. We also have another location a bit closer to the main trail head where we will build a beginner/intermediate area, suitable for everyone to improve their skills.

Hayden builds everyday. This isnt like a couple blokes building in the bush. He is a trail builder and they have a pretty good team out there working pretty much every day I think. And yes, I believe they are in the process of getting a double black diamond dh run in the mix.
yer i didnt think they were young kids dude, gatherd tht by the pics. so will do u know if the tracks could possibly support a dh race of some sort? is this place a dedicated mtb park? an yer if i can gather som more deatils myself along with a couple of other riders would be more thn happy to help out i cant speak for others but im alvailble most weekends really. its good to see some legal trails being built. well done

To be honest man I dont really want to reveal too much over the internetz as I only have information from an outsiders point of view, I've only been giving hayden information on what to put in a sick dh track. I also am not associated with the project yet so I dont really feel I have the right to blab on about it. Just pm the guy who started this thread (hayden) and he will help you out for sure.
Sorry, I haven't been on here for a while, it's been a hectic couple of weeks. I would like to catch up with a few avid DH'ers and drive to the highest point of the property to scope out and mark a track! Just contact/PM me if you would like to be involved and we will work out a date. Cheers, Hayden
We started another skills area this week, just a couple of little things needed to finish off these two features.
10m+ beginners balance beams, will have 3 exit options for different skill levels.
10m Chain Bridge - support heights of 2 1/2ft - 3 1/2ft, will armour both ends and tighten it all up Saturday - will be good to go Sunday!

Sweet Track...
Sweet trails guys - look really well constructed and great to ride (the rockwork looks very professional). Love to help but we're curently building our own trails in the Toowoomba area. The only downside with your trails is it appears you have to be members of the private MTB club to ride on the private property (can't afford two memberships a year). Do you have any open days to outsiders (besides race events)??
