Moved to the Bay of Plenty Forum

Nizza from Koops and the crew have been doing a lot of work on the dirtjumps (inside a poplar stand I believe) over summer. You could call Koops Cycles (07) 578-5406 for more info.

Hey, I was up there last Sunday for a look. Carl Young has asked that the whole DJ area be finished by end of May. A largish rollin ramp has been built, and some of the jumps have been shaped well, but largely there is still a lot of unfinished mounds of dirt. They were doing a lot of work making log rides and stuff there last weekend, looking real good infact.
I hope to get up there again this weekend with the camera, will post up pics here

I was going to head up today for a nosey, but bike troubles put an end to that.

So nothing to report sadly.

I was there today, the jump area now has two jumps completed

very nice jumps too, there another line of two/three table tops being built at the moment, and it looks like there will be lots of other jumps in the area

also close to the jumps there is some really cool and challenging skinnies that have been built out of a fallen tree, theres at least 4 different lines of differing difficult

kept me occupied for ages but I finally got all the lines done

also if you can make it theres a working bee on next sunday (29th)

I talked to the landowner up there last week, he said that the other side of the road is open again now. Im planning to go up there early tomorrow, like 7.30 or something crazy, you keen for an early start?

Some other pics from around the park, heaps of birdlife around in the early morning, something you dont notice at Vegas. Has some really nice XC stuff going on now.
