I will hopefully be out on sunday but it probably wont be until the arvo. I could try and film it if you like. Trust me man, you will nail it for sure. It looks scarier from the top than it actually is. Also nice work on the jump, alot more fun than the one that was there before it.

just thinking out loud a bit here but i went up had look around today im liking all new stuff there but i was thinking we should ease up on the building of new tracks and concentrate on repairing/improving the tracks we already have mainly because theres few tracks out there now that half are built and dont get used and im thinkin if the council or greenies find it they wont be too happy ..
anyway in saying this i was thinking of doing some work on snakes and ladders so that you can actually use the whole track but i thought id put my plans up on here before i start anything so that people dont get the shits etc and ill wait a few weeks for peple to comment before i start
the first thing i was lookin at was moving the wallride so that its on the right and you turn to to the left so the track flows better cos thats pretty much where it ends at the moment
second major thing was finishing that ladder drop thing thats been siting there for months and in doing this i want to cut the end of it back about a metre so thats theres a bit of a gap
theres a few other bits and peices i wouldnt mind doing but nothing major anyway let me know wat you think of those plans and ill go from there but dont get too agro and whingey about about it because there only sugestions at the moment

It was kind of funny to see Greg wrapped around the tree (he was ok). Haven't seen handlebars spun around so much before.
If you built the track, go ahead and do what you want. Please just be sure to do a good job on any trackwork anywhere. There are now too many half arsed tracks around out there and a few of us are looking to close some of these tracks. Let us now of any tracks you think should be closed. We're open to all opinions.Chill out josh not gonna touch your track , the track i done at the start of the year the jump to the right off crank it needs a bit of work, i was gonna put some jumps out of berms and jumping back into berms kinda like a S shape if everyone is happy for me to start it i shall start

I was talking to Scotty yesterday and we are looking to put a couple more of these type of doubles along the main line down to the road gap or beyond.

Bank holiday huh
I wish I could get weekdays off work. Send Newts a PM, he's got the day off too.
We are looking to do a build/ride day next Sunday morning if anyone is keen to come out to lend a hand, followed by some DH runs.

Took the XC out and explored the opposited side of PM. Some quality work over there. Hit out about 15km. Noticed your cars there on the way out, did not see you though, which is lucky as I walked straight up road gap and could have been hit.
As sms Shorty, will try my best to be there, but with a wedding on Saturday, I may struggle to be up.

WARNING new danger for riders.
Well if there wasn't enough to contend with at Kentlyn already I got a new one to add...Deer...Yep that's right, had a Deer run across the fire trail in front of me today. Couldn't believe my eyes. I've had Wallabies bound out in front of me and snakes slither across the tracks but a Deer.
I had crossed PM rd and was heading along the fire trail that goes through to Old Kent. Not far past the fire trail gate looked up and there it was bounding across the fire trail. Stopped, got off the bike said "WTF", tried to see where it had gone but by the time I travelled the 10mtrs it was well off into the scrub.
Anybody else seen Deer out that way?
Cheers,
Mike

I haven't seen any myself in Kentlyn but it seems like it's not the only place they're popping up

I guess I'm ignorant, but I was not even aware that we had deer in Australia until I saw a deer roadsign a couple of weeks ago. Had to do a double-take then pinch myself to make sure I wasn't still in Canada....
