i dont understand why people go to so much effort to keep destroying the jumps. makes me angry and everyone else i dont doubt is too. what do they gain from our loss?
puh. as fun as motos are, they're still a dick breed for disrespect.
ohwell.
theres some awesome shores, along with a nice dh track and some big gaps, out at elebana. its a bit closer than the wattagans, so if anyones keen to ride them with me this coming weekend, let me know.
last i heard, the builders had built a spiral shore...
ill have a bit of time the first week of school hols too, so if anyones keen to pair up with me for some runs, let me know. im good for mornings but have to study in the avo.

Careful what you say.

The jumps are destroyed for a good reason. if the builders hadn't cleared bush to put in a shitty hip, the jumps would be fine. Everyone's fine with just jumping the quarries and what used to be there. There was no need to clear more bush in a national park. Just go to the quarries and jump there. The top jumps aren't any bigger anyway.

Councils knocking it down. Not much point going anymore really

Freeboy, it is against Farkin rules to use a homophobic slur just because you can't think of a better way of describing something or someone that you don't like. Please come up with a better way of expressing yourself.

fair enough. i have no idea of the history of the place. but when i started riding, those top ones were always bigger and more fun. had no idea there was a hip there now.
i liked the good ol days when everything was so simple and straight forward. might invent a time machine.

bummer. seems like theres really no where free to ride these days other than skate parks and ur own backyard.

If anyone is keen, i'm probably going to head out to Glenrock sometime this weekend to do a DH/DJ session. I'll be getting there about 9:30 if anyone wants to meet up.

 

[sammydog]

Freeboy, come to the Glenrock Trail Alliance website and have a read around.

Glenrock like Matty said is a National Park. We are currently having Mtb access reviewed in the POM at the moment and its all up in the air so to speak.

The mud jumps and the DH area have caused us a lot of greif in trying to retain access for all of us.

The big cleared area around the log gap on the creek gap run, the following stright lines, the B lines opening up around the steep tree root section of the dippers run, the rubbish left up their, the mud jumps, the tree clearance have all been issues thrown at us in the last few weeks (actually make that year, but the last few weekes have been the most important to us).

We would love to have more input from DH and DJ riders as it has been low so far, so go and read and leave your opinions.

For the record though, I can completely understand why peopl e go to the effort they do to detroy those jumps, Its the tree destruction and erosion that pisses me of. More so just a complete lack of respect for the area and other riders.

As for eleebana........not sure if you know, but Lake Macquarie Council is removing the shore. aahhh, looks like matty beat me to it.

This sunday i'm more than likely going to head out to Glenrock for a DH/DJ session and then possibly that night stick around and go for a night XC ride. I'll be getting there around 9:30 in the morning and be out there all day. I'm 15 but if anyone's keen to come out just drop me a PM.

 

[Mattydv]

Regular Rides

Would anyone been keen on getting a regular weekly/fortnightly DH ride going in Newcastle? Say Sundays at Glenrock or something of the sort? Or even alternating locations because places can definitely become monotonous. Anyone interested?

Me and FRN-71E on here are heading out to Killi this Sunday for a few runs on the DH track, then maybe go and terrorise the Skatepark down the road at Holmesville a bit later on if you're interested.
