Hello All.
Ok form the positive response recieved out of Ruckus Lord's thread and interest shown By Gavin Finlay from Ashgrove cycles and Oppy I think it's time to make progress towards the repair/change of the ashgrove Blue nurses jumps. I'm going to propose that we as a collective group of riders form a trail and jump discussion/work comittee. This will involve all of us sitting down together to decide on the direction in which we believe the jumps be Designed, Built and Maintained.
I will be liaising with Gav and we hopefully will be able to set a date for everyone to get together and discuss what needs to be done, who will be involved and have a realistic idea about what we will be able to achieve. Already we have many fantastic idea's posted on the previous thread. I need everyone who is serious about getting involved to come along and bring their Idea's. I'm going to suggest that we include the Adelade dirt jump park as an example to show the councill representative who will be aproving or denying the proposal, that it has been done before with great success.
Now we have to be realistic about what we plan on submitting. The safer the better. There is very little chance of getting 25ft doubles built by the councill. So I would suggest smaller, table top type jumps preferably with a 10-15 foot take off to landing, transfer lines, hips and maybee a berm or two. I would like to see the majority of the land available used. Ryan also suggests a wall ride(thats a tops Idea) and anything else you wish to add bring along to the discussion group.
The discussion group will be for anyone who wants to do some work, bring some Idea's or simply come along to support and find out what we plan on getting together. A date will hopefully be set in the near future and we can do something about getting some decent jumps in our area. Please support this group as the more people we show to have an interest, the more chance we will be able to have something done.
I would also like to take this opportunity to apologise to Gav Finlay and Ashgrove Cycles for inappropriate discussions and misdirected frustrations towards him by myself and others, as he has put in more effort towards the jumps than anyone else and has put more into the local riding community than anyone cares to notice. All of this dispite any of our overly boistrous internet forum based opinions. We all still love you Gav. This is a mountain biking community, lets keep it that way and work together people.
More info as it comes to hand.
Cheers, Matt
