DANG!

I want to go up there and do this jump! Good work guys - But yeah, maybe run ideas past the general masses first as it is a public track.

That way when you go to build it, you will not upset anyone and you are likely to get more people to come and help you dig.

I take back my comments. You guys seem to have done the whole job which is good. I was of the understanding that this jump was just made bigger and thats it. But cleaning up the run in and the berms will help alot.

However as I said, next time just put up a post or something before you do it and get ideas. Just makes sure everyone stays happy.

And of course they will be going up and doing work on the nana lines around all that stuff seeing as they pretty much covered up the entrances to them

Yes, please put the nana lines back! I haven't learnt to clear big gaps like that, but we still have fun riding maidstone, and are getting a bit bettter each time - One day I hope I will gap that, but until then, nana lines would be great! If you can make a track work for mad jumpers as well as people like me and the mates I ride with (girly newbie DH'ers) you'll get a lot more respect than just making stuff hyuuuuge! Double Thumbs Up That's why I'm super impressed with what's built at Long Gully now, it's progressive and challenging for different levels of riders (nice one Mike!)
