You can get a bit of air of that rock if you carry a bit of speed into it.
I like the run in, its got those heaps sketchy rocks you have to watch out for which makes it good. I don't really wont to get rid of them. And also i have put some berms in where we need it the most. I wont the rest of the corners to form ruts because the dirts really soft up there. So we just need more people to come ride it more often.

Looks like you lads are doing some pretty rad work up there, props. Will have to check it out on my next XC ride up that way...pushing the DH rig up the fire road to treetops is not much fun haha.

Yeah its not the best. When we usually decide to ride the trail, we get dropped up at the top of mt ousley truck stop. And ride the fire road till we come along to a single trail called 'slippery jacks'. Its quite steep, fun and tecky and leads straight onto the fire road to get to treetops. Then you just have to walk up that last little hill to get to treetops.

Yeah I'm fairly sure I know the trail you mean. If I ride up from possums to brokers i'll ride down there to get quickly back to treetops/possums. It's got a really hidden entrance and it's basically about 100m straight and _steep_ then a kinda switchback in the middle then another 100m or so straight and steep...then a switch back out. Drops you out onto the fire-road then a few hills back up to tree tops? Pretty sick track but it's mega sketchy on the XC bike haha :cool: Tree tops is actually a quick loop if you have a bike that can pedal up hills, the two steep climbs are fair killer though after a few goes.

Looks like this?

Edit: sorry will stop filling the thread up with OT shite :|

so true,
that track is steep. pretty fun though.
Also what are you guys building next at possums?

Not to sure of what we are going to do next.
Well when i get around to doing it, i want to make the third jump on the 4x section bigger and higher as well as a couple of whoops after it to keep the flow. But other than that just fixing up the track and basic maintenance like that.

Do you have any plans?

What about putting some berms on the rock track. the one over near the dirt jumps.
so you could keep more speed on it. that would be cool.
