Hello all,
some may remember the thread we created a few months ago about the publicity our secret little jumps got from the local newspaper. If not here is the link

We feared the council were going to knock them down, so we had a final jam there to bid them farewell, then left them to rest in peace.
But a few months down the track and no signs that demolition will be taking place.
Looks like this stubborn old set will be staying put for a while longer at least. Unfortunately in the few months that we were not down there riding and fixing them mother nature has attempted to reclaim our little strip of land. Massive flooding has stripped our lips of there smooth outer layers and the grass has crept back over. The good news is we're going to start fixing them again. We had a decent turn out at the jam so hopefully we can get just as many down to rebuild them, as i'm sure many people know, well maintained dirt jumps are hard to come by in brissy so we're not going to let these die.
Me and rohan will be heading down tomorrow to remove all grass, then we'll have a proper build day this sat, starting say 10am? And the following saturday same time. Anyone with any interest should come along, we will be bringing shovels and a barrow but obviously we won't have enough for everyone so we urge you to bring your own tools. Anyone there can have a say in steepness, gaps, sizes of rebuilt jumps so all can enjoy.
Reply or PM if interested. If you've never been there directions can be found in link at top. If we get a decent turn out we should be able to haul ass and get em back into shape.
