more yooees ragging
hey awesome to see so many positive vibes regarding the nat,s at youyangs in dec.i have been helping develop the park alongside trav,dave,pete,greg,for the past 5 years and i have had a lot of input into the old and new dh courses and xc tracks.its easy for you dh track critics to rag the s*#t out of the course,we know its never going to have the old school feel of beauty or abom,or the fun of long gully or barjarg but some of those tracks are over 10 years old so there wern,t imba guidelines back then or tracks like barjarg are on private land allowing the trail builders to have a bit more freedom.i think the youyangs bikepark is a great example of how we the trail builders can work together with parks to build imba sustainable trails while still incorporating the fun factor.we didnt have a lot of elevation to work with and have had to work under parks supervision,so we hav,nt had the freedom to to what we want,we are no means pro dh,rs and im proud of what we have acheived,although the 1st dh was a huck fest.anyhow my name is rod and i will be volenteering at the nats,so feel free to have bitch session to me,i will make sure i have my violin and a box of tissues for you,to all those who help out and appreciate the area for what it is.good luck on race day,cheers
