    How to build a DH track

    My advice to anyone wanting to have legalised trails is to look for some council owned land that suits and begin a negotiation process prior to track building. It's much easier that way. Once that gets started, and clubs in the area show growth in their numbers, this can then be used as...

    Mackenzie Frenzy Downhill trai maintenance

    Thanks to all who turned up and gave a hand. Having the holes dug and uprights concreted in should allow us to get the rock armouring done in two weeks time. Keep an eye out for new posts detailing the next maintenance day. The date will be contingent on the council supplying us with dirt from...

    Downhill track maintainence Saturday 21st of april, 2 pm at harvey street.

    RYDA, the track is pretty good in my opinion. It needs work to carry a race, but will definitely be fine to host a few blokes having fun for the day. Matt, I can't make Saturdays unless they are early mornings (not sure if others are in the same boat), but always happy to help on a Sunday...
