why have the builders abandoned them?Page is gone, it was an event so it just disappears but yeah they are probably staying but there is not going to be anyone working on them
i'd say it's cause the builder invited a heap of people for a jam before they got destroyed, now they're staying and a heap more people know about them.why have the builders abandoned them?
Thanks 756- a bit weird, you sh!tting me- thats nuts- what a waste. There are only a few people who can ride them anyway........ doesnt matter how many people know about them.i'd say it's cause the builder invited a heap of people for a jam before they got destroyed, now they're staying and a heap more people know about them.
seems a bit weird to me as well, but bmxer's can be pretty sensitive about who knows about and rides at their trails.
I helped promote it yes, but I asked the builder before hand and he said it was fineThanks 756- a bit weird, you sh!tting me- thats nuts- what a waste. There are only a few people who can ride them anyway........ doesnt matter how many people know about them.
L3onell- how do you feel about this- wasnt it you that promoted the ride weekend. How do the builders feel about your actions- perhaps you jumped the gun abit- alittle premature
So perhaps others will now go in and remodel them into something sustainable and accessible for others (more than 3).
you can have a thread closed mate but this one doesnt warrant it- we have all moved on from calling each other d!cks. I want to understand what has been allowed, what the responsibilities are for them to remain and whether you guys care now. If something was promised and you aint going to deliver- it looks bad for the future ideas/plans/relationships.I helped promote it yes, but I asked the builder before hand and he said it was fine
He did suggest deleting the thread recently due to the shitstorm going on in it, it's not helping anything. Trouble is can you even delete threads?
As I said before, the builder is moving because of all the people that know about them now (specially all the fluro scooter kids/people from local skate parks with stolen bikes) because they come and destroy them. Someone came in and graffitied all over the jumps which adds to his reason to moveyou can have a thread closed mate but this one doesnt warrant it- we have all moved on from calling each other d!cks.

This aint a sh!tstorm. There are people who are generally interested in the area (including the jumps) and improving the relationship with key stakeholders. I was stoked to hear that the council said yes for you guys and find it odd that you all pack up and go............ just aint so underground and cool anymore or something. So be it.
Just looking for some details mate- shame you are left holding everything
just skimming through this thread (alright, I spent the better chunk of an hour on here..) and in regard to you saying that the builder is moving on because of vandalism...As I said before, the builder is moving because of all the people that know about them now (specially all the fluro scooter kids/people from local skate parks with stolen bikes) because they come and destroy them. Someone came in and graffitied all over the jumps which adds to his reason to move
VW- I have met the old builders (not that old- like mid 30s or something)and have met a few others in the area- but not the new bloke- but L3eonell knows them- be good to open dialogue and see what can be done with this "opportunity"Do any of you guys actually know the old builders and the new builder?
I can see what people are saying but have a chat to the guys on the shovel.
Did any of your ride vison or BNR?
Have you seen the graffitied jumps first hand or is this what the builder told you?As I said before, the builder is moving because of all the people that know about them now (specially all the fluro scooter kids/people from local skate parks with stolen bikes) because they come and destroy them.

Multiple photosHave you seen the graffitied jumps first hand or is this what the builder told you?
Do you have a link to said photos or can you post them up?Multiple photos
I met a guy there, Adam about 2 months ago who said he was the (new) builder and was the only one digging there. Not sure how you reach him, I asked him if he was on here and he said he didnt even have a computer or access to the net...Do any of you guys actually know the old builders and the new builder?

Pump track....yes please! Small line for old dudes like me and the kids I often see in there just giving it a go...needs it. The rest....go sik!I think I finally get it. I am starting to understand this whole thing. Sorry Im old.
I visited the jumps today and they are really good............. way beyond me. I visited some other builders and it is insane what these guys are doing. BMX needs an outlet and I wouldn't expect them to tone it down or sanitise it.
When we get our shit together with the council for the tennis court area we would love your input and assistance. If anyone has or can get things rolling with council- that would be great. I would like to use the higher ground up to the road to get some elevation and speed and incorporate jumps, gaps, berms, pumps and various lines for various skills.
I should not have given you guys such a hard time- it just seemed like you were given the opportunity you wanted and then ditched the whole idea. You are still fucking weirdos with your chains and secret squirrel anti knobby tyre rules but I respect what you are doing.
No idea where I saw them but I did see itDo you have a link to said photos or can you post them up?
It was yellow tagging (peoples names with squiggles everywhere), have't seen any blue paintThe blue pant sprayed the jumps has been and gone. (Some faggy fashion people or some crap)
I think instead of moaning about stuff get all your constructive ideas together and approach the council about rebuilding the jumps next to the tennis courts.
He has Facebook but he isn't on that often because I think he uses his phones internet onlyI met a guy there, Adam about 2 months ago who said he was the (new) builder and was the only one digging there.

That is okayI think I finally get it. I am starting to understand this whole thing. Sorry Im old.
