Got the bypass pretty much cleared up today ( first half anyway) just looking at it with Sorin the snake berm is gonna be mint in there as well as a few jumps etc ..... should be good, should finish it next week, hopefully to a ridable standard before we start on the wood work :sly:

the snake berm will start from this wooden ramp and vear left to right to left

finishing on the stump, be a slight jump for the step down off the next stump
New Bypass 3.jpg
this stump will encompass the step down onto the old step down launch ramp which is going and we will remove the side of the landing of the step down to create the landing for this stump drop.........simple simple

Build tomorrow will be back at 8am , probably try to clear out the rest of the bypass for the stepdown and hopefully have some runs on it to get the feel for the structures we are gonna add to it ;) so bring the bikes :thumbsup: ... i might even try to get some more gorse cleared form the sides to open it up a bit

Nother good build today got the Bypass all cleared out and even had some runs on it, its actually gonna be pretty gnarly for a bypass but we will smooth it out as much as possible..will start on the multiberm next weekend :thumbsup:

Looking up from the bottom of the stepdown basically just looking at rolling all the way from the top, nice and smooth to get the speed for the climb up onto the motorway

yo back at ya!!!



Build on sunday will see what happens with the weather, if its pissing down im gonna take up the slasher and clear a track between roller coaster and taniwha.... otherwise we will move wood and start marking out the berm stuff!! :)

Metvuw.co.nz sez it will be no forecast rain from 6am till probably 10 i guessthen it will be light showers (going by the graph), but the rate that it gets from 6am to 12pm makes it look like strong winds..... prob keep ya mouth closed dave!! :lol:

Good build today, got the exit sussed for the bypass at the stepdown, nice little sump and drainpipe underneath , the exit is not banked much or big but its a nice line onto the crossing towards the motorway.... also started slashing the gorse and grass around rollercoaster thru toTaniwha, might try and get the XC boys up in there with the Dozer and push a track thru (will have a play around first thou) also had a look at Taniwha and looks like a bit of attention will be required down there soon, some of the log jumps are rotting out so will replace them and some drainage is needed at the start thru to the first table...... otherwise good day :thumbsup:
