Just a warning - the upramp of the pallet jump has been tamprered with and totally moved off its supports - actually the upramp is moved to the side . I tried block it off with logs - Andy will be informing Brad the builder today.
SLOW DOWN ON THE RUN IN - THER AINT NO RAMP.
Also the down ramp appears to have also been fiddled with.
RIDERS BEWARE

Brad and I are heading out there Sunday to fix it. So I suggest if you are riding that day be aware of us and use the B line I will have some signage up also.

This is completely off topic and maybe slightly irrelevant but I just want to commend you guys up there on the Central Coast. I have only ever ridden Ourimbah once and was absolutely stoked with the track, however, that is not what I am posting to say.

Just from reading here, you guys seem to put so much work into the track and every time when people wreck things, be it deliberately or by accident, you are always quick to repair it. When the starting ramp broke, you were onto it straight away. With the parking issues you were also good in leading that and making it applicable.

As I said, a bit off topic, but I just wanted to say something because I feel as though you deserve it.

Well done guys and thanks for all your work that you are doing for not only Ourimbah but for the mountain bike community in general.

Cheers guys,

Pete.

I went out for a couple of quick runs on the way to the oldies a couple of weeks ago and noticed that the last post on the left on the down ramp had spit and was no longer supporting it. Had a good look around but couldnt find anything suitable to prop it up.

It's just like brand NEW..........

It is fixed - the whole run down to the pallet to pallet is now smooth to allow more speed. The launch pallet is a distant memory as we have cleared it and armoured the take off with large flat rocks. The gap is no longer, making the whole thing rollable to get rid of the sketchy B line. The down ramp has been mended and is all safe to use. Some of the guys we talking about a new wider steal constructon -down ramp next Sat. But stay tuned, it is still a jump down to the ramp so just treat it as normal. Hope you like it.
