shit you guys did heaps last weekend im gutted i wasnt there :cry: . went 4 a ride on the haki yesterday had a look at the motorway its lookin reel good. whats the next step? start building and shaping some berms and jumps :satan: . There was a fella up there on a moto and he asked me were the mtb tracks were. So i asked him to please keep off because off the damage his bike would do and he was cool with that. Are motos allowed up there

No Motos up the hill at all, thanks for that, yeah hopefully have the digger this sunday maybe, will find out , but we can start working on the last set of jumps and the berms leading onto the hill towards the dogpound, i think we can pretty much build with the barrows, just need to cart some 4x4 up there i have nails from the XC guys so we should be ready to go , if the digger is up there we wil continue to move the dirt into position for the ramps and kickers etc, been thinking on redoing the twin berms altogether, looking at them on Tuesday and im not happy with them the way they are so i might get him to cart all the dirt inwards and we will rebuild them again... :hmmm:

Mean build today got the 3rd gap/table 95% complete,big effort by the boys to get it finished to now, cheers to Sorins mate for turning up and helping ,has some good track building skills there.., just need a little rain to dampen the ramps etc etc
Motorway third gap and table.jpg
Motorway third gap and table 2.jpg
gap is about 3.5 metres i think lip to lip, this is a bit shorter than what the other gaps will be, due to this gap needing some pedalling to clear it i think but we will see

Good build today, got the frame up for the table and the kicker is partially finished, the ramps just need to be built and the rest of the table completed then we will be able to session the two hopefully and suss out the issues etc etc

Build was awesome today we got the next table in and ridable , the gap will be finished for next weekend, the jumps are very tidy and smooth we just need to add some more to the landiung area to give it a bit more run off area as it can be flatlanded when going fast, otherwise i am super stoked with the results, so hopefully we will get the digger in over the next month and get the 2 last jumps in place and get the table-berm to wallride and the stepup and structure all finished , should be a very nice ride lots of lines and heaps of fun Cheers Guys :)
