Good build on Saturday, got some more cleared out then we had a good hours long shuttle session on Tuna's tail and Motorway.... We have added a drain to the berm on Tuna's Tail and have shaped the corner to vent water to the silt pit..

I will be putting up some signs to ask people NOT to do ANY trail maintenance without prior permission because whoever is doing it they are doing it wrong get on here in the forum and let me know what needs to be done, I am pretty aware of what is in need of attention on all the trails but the low build numbers on Build days makes it hard to get stuff pushed thru so it all takes time but people hacking holes in berms to let water drain away..this needs to stop, Ride thru it ti is only water or let me know your concerns and i can get onto it... or if you are keen on doing some trail maintenance, either turn up on BUILD days or text me (0274942937) or email (thequinsta@googlemail.com) to organise what needs to be done and how it needs to be done.. if any of you see people doing work ask if they have asked about it first and pass this message onto them please cheers..

Im only doing this so my workload that i have for me and the build guys doesnt get outta hand by dumb attempts to make things temporarly ridable as this just make more work down the track

Good build today, got some of the Gorse slashed atthe bottom of the black track probably going to spray and walk away the rest of the scrub in this area or cut in the tracks and work on the rest later, we didnt spend to much time around there , we moved up to Tuna's Tail and worked on the berm and all the cuts people have added to the other berms to release the water :angry: so the new berms are very nice now so smooth photos of the ride in the rides thread

Build this weekend, we will look at clearing the 1 visible track of the black trail to the point where it is ridable, ie pull all the gorse and slash all the excess crap away then we can ride it and start getting some ideas, the sectipon over the hill is pretty thick so we will look at making a line thru there and clearing out as we need it ... It looks like it will be fine so we will try to get some spray down i ahve a new bottle of killer bees... Bring ur BIKE we will try to get a ride in , session Tuna's tail and the black track if we can....3 pm gate will be open .... :thumbsup: :)

Its a rough line just to get the bikes on and riding..Big cheers to Aaron for pitching in and helping out .. just have to get him off his XC bike now hahahhaha :p .. next week we will look at getting down and over the hill which will almost give us a run all the way down to the mega berm and jumps..... gettiing close now, just clearing it yesterday you can see that there will be mega alternative lines to ride and make the Black Track a real interesting trail with lots of variation.. :D

Great build today , cheers to Myles and Brett for turning up , got a good section cleared and ridable, the section is very fast too.. back tyre lifting, sideways, tree missing :o Fun... will try to get a finish to the line sorted over the week so it can be cleared out next weekend, have lost the track slightly so we may just have to make it up :thumbsup:

Black Track Sweeper.jpg
This so far is the meanest section orf the track, drop the tyre over the left and hold on
Tree Table Gap.jpg
Swopop right and up over the Natures made table between two very close pines
Table to Ramp section.jpg
Short section to pedal in before the jump, this entry is very slow but next weekends build will be a new straighter line into this
Ramp Landing.jpg
Rough Swopy Bit.jpg
Entry to Skidder Track.jpg
This will go left instead of into the skidder track so we cna gain the momentum into teh Jumps by the hill
Skidder to Exit.jpg
