not good enough sorin

Build thuis weekend , will work on the berms and entry to the new drop, gonnna slash all the gorse in there to open it up to the light and wind, then we can start work on the berms from the hill down past Tuna's Tails etc.....Bring your bikes thou if its half fine and ridable we will have a good session aronud the trails for a bit, been a while .

Another Awesome build today got the exit berms in and flattened, will need some more shaping but shoud be good with a little bit of rain and sun......did a couple of runs on the drop and berms to rollercoaster seems like once it dries up it should be pretty quick thru there which is what im looking for.


We have used a lot of the dirt off the Jumps but at the same time we are shapeing them to look a bit more clean and easy on the eye from the road, have also found some trees that didn't get planted ages ago that are still alive so these will go down in the corner, to provide a break from the road.

And we also put more of a lip on the first Dirt Jump...........be aware
also drainage has been added so if you are in the area please just check to make sure its clear

Cheers Dan

So...did u reshape the little ones or larger ones?

Only packed up the kicker on the first little on as was way too flat. Took a bit of dirt ftom the side but doesnt affect the jump line.
Didn't touch the big ones

at least you guys can build in the wet. All the Dh tracks are in CHCH closed due to the heavy rain and we can't even build...pocket pool at home then!!!

Bwahahahahaha yeah but pretty dry up here considering the rain, been good for building thou........

OMG i feel like im letting the whole biking community down by not building today.. , hoping with all the rain, all our work is not going to get ruined, hope the drains are working..

Next week we willl look at putting in the berm into the bypass line for the new drop, this will make it easier for youngs one to get onto the ramp. will also finish cleaning up the end of the motorway after the hill clearing up the gorse etc etc , and start clearing out for the outer berm for the dirt jump stepdown..

when you plannin on workin on that trail we started DH LINE or something

Once we have finished all of Taniwha and tunas tail, then will start on other trails

Mint build today got some good ideas together for the area... have built the bypass berm ( this allows slower riders and little ones the ability to get onto the ramp without to much hassle..) ( actually is a mint line going fast too).. started on teh external berm to loop over closer to the drop in for the Jump line of the dog pound, have now changed it from a drop into a wall ride...... should be pretty good this will then go into another berm to move back onto the DH line andd away from the Dirt jumps
