hey all, we have come along another spot and we think that we have hit the jackpot. well so far anyway. the location is secluded and hard to get to. it is impossibe for council cars to get in which is another bonus. the dirt is moist and compacts very well as it is near water. the run in is fairly flat although you can generate a good amount of speed.

so far we have decided that we will have 2 speed jumps into scoops then into maybe a 6 pack or sumthing like that anyway. it would also be good to have a couple of turns and whoops maybe as well.

here is a pic of the location so far. we have only cleared a run in and put some of the sand where we want the first speed jump to be.

(5th Jan 2009)this is where the run in will be coming from


this is from the run in to the first jumps to be (lol, they will be bigger!)


thanks for looking at my thread and i will keep you guys posted on what is happening. please comment and tell me what you think of our jumps and what you think we should do with the place.

build it in and around the trees, itll look way sick. try and make it more of a loop instead of a strait line. make dirt jump trails, not dirtjumps. and think if it flows well then theres no pushing the bike back to the run in. well, thats what i think anyway.

looks like youve got a nice spot to build.

Hey me and a few mates could give you a hand with the jumps provided there not to far, we've looked everywhere for possible dirt jump sites near us, but we could travel a bit, send me a PM with a rough location if you want us to help

hey guys, we were down their today from about 8am to beat the heat because it was insanely hot! did ALOT of digging and we have decided to change the plans a bit. the first jump will be a little step up onto a large downramp into a ditch then another double that really kicks you up heaps. my mate had a go at a tailwhip but didnt land it. we are probrably going to fork the trail and have a big and a smaller set. it would be good if you could maybe tranfer from line to line but we will see. here is a few pics but it wasnt at the end of the day so the second jumps alot bigger. but you get the idea.

first jump


second jump but not completed


from downramp

bit of advice, dig deeper coffins and dig out from the gap between the jumps.
nothing will get trails dozed more then a big ass 7 foot by 7 foot, 5 foot deep hole in the ground which is what you'll end up with.

good work but, looks like a fun spot.

hey guys, went down this morn for a few hours and did a bit of digging. didnt get alot of work done but we did tidy up all of the work from previous days. we have also finished the scoop before the third jump and started piling up sand. and we have decided where the trick jump is going to be and cleared out the track but this will be built a little bit later. we had alot of fun testing out the new jumps and that is what riding is all about.



thanks for looking at my thread and i will keep you guys posted!:)
