Wow guys, the tracks looking amazing. Sorry to seem like a ssabmud but where exactly is it? Directions? I'm keen to help out and keen to ride it as well.
It is in Long Gully, it is the track that the race in the weekend was held on.

A bunch of us turned up in the rain yesterday to play in the mud at the bottom of jawbone. We've got the entrance into the "easy" line finished (it's still very damp though, so it would pay to stay off the track at the moment), as well as a nice kicky gap next to the wooden ladder.
Mike and I stayed until about 5pm, and built a new optional line off the easy exit that will lead to a banked wooden drop - probably around 2m high - onto the downhill-straight before the last corner.
The bottom of jawbone is turning into option city...

Yeah. Assuming we've got enough wood (and it's not raining too much for the insta-crete to set), the "bermed drop ramp" should be built next time we're out there. I can see it in my head - I just hope that it comes together as good...
Also, me and mike talked about armouring some of the lower track. It's probably because we've been building it recently, so it's soft, and there has been a ton of rain of late, but the lower part of the easy line is very sloppy. Getting some gravel/small rocks in there would really help to hold it all together - if we can get a kango-hammer in it'll be able to make short work of some of the rocky banks and provide us with enough broken rock to put down on the track...

at this stage im not going to take my bike to the next jawbone dig , just really want hammer through a section or two and make a big dent on what needs to be done so we can start on a larger project further up the track.
what i'll probably do fill the car up with 1.6m planks ,it might only be 10-12 but it should get you through jono. i think the post spade is in the blue bin down by tripple jumps
alternativly go a buy one that will last and i'll fix you up, actually i'll pick one up , it'll get used heaps.
