Building starts dec 1st . got 7 weeks to dial it in. Central Coast's Danny Stevenson is shaping the bmx dirt course. Slopestyle line is being built by the GV crew..

Here's a pic of the first ramp built for the slopestyle line .. got 5 more plus a big booter for the end jump feature . The course will be mind blowing and will start the international season of freeride mtb and freestyle bmx 2013 in style.. there has never been an oz comp course like this before...
