View Full Version : Airport Jumps! OMG Big!
Well these are the legend, the myth, the monstrositys that actually exist. They lie behind Melbourne Airport. 90% of the jumps around the area have been dozed except this 8 pack. It is positivily massive. They havent been jumped in a while but they are pretty far away from everything and REALLY unaccessable.
1st Jump --- 20 foot Gap x 5 Foot High
2nd Jump --- 18 foot Gap x 5.5 foot High
3rd Jump --- 18 foot Gap x 6 foot High
4th Jump --- 17 foot Gap x 7 foot High
btw i actually measured with a measurer.
Enjoy Dudes.

:shock:

nice, the gap between the second last landing and the last lip looks very tight. pretty gnarly, every time a see a picture of jumps i think, 'yeah sweet, i'd give it a shot' then i see them in person and freak out... haha

Looks awesome and a whoel heap of fun. Is it really noisy near the jumps?

yea, tip trucks and dozers ripping the land up 24/7. Pretty noisy. Hmm... not really well maintained, but meh, jumpable and if you put a wee bitta effort in theyd be quite noice.

LTR and Stinky04: im up for a ride, just tell me where and when, well i obviously know where, but..u know what i mean.
Is the last jump actually a jump, cos it kinda looks like someone has just dumped a heap of dirt and it just hasnt been shaped yet.
but i didnt see then im person so...
but give us a yell if you guys are serious about going.

That's like a hidden little paradise... all the work that has been put into it... that's awesome, hit that shit up!!!
fuck me silly, they even look big on camera, u got the balls to hit up LTR?
bahaha... no :shock:
which bit were you saying no to?
and how did you get their LTR?

I was saying no to both, even though i didnt know it!
Well, yesterday i rode there from my house (40km round trip). I got lost so add 8km to that. Then i found out that the land that isnt normally used is now a landfill area :shock: and there were dozers and tiptrucks working on and on. The only way across to the jumps was straight across the landfill area, so, i rode really fast then they started beeping and me and the tippies were driving towards me. I rode a bit faster and eventually i got into the forest. Its reasonably easy to get into by car, because you can drive off the freeway onto this road. Then jump a few fences and your set. Most of the DJs are gone, there were heaps all just a wee bit smaller than that. You can see where they got dozed.
Mel Ref: 5 D4 (Marker Road) and the jumps are actually behind the quarry area. If you want to see them in the flesh PM me and ill come providing you have a car, because you cant get to Marker road on a bike.

they look sic. perhaps a bit tight for their size to hit em up on a mtb easy but still cool. they look very similar to our secret jumps as the size is the same but each jump is spaced a bit further apart to make them mtb friendly. very nice.

They look sweet, you'd wanna kill all that grass stuff on the lips before hitting them up though..........and maybe add some hay bails to allow for when it all goes horribly wrong!

they look, massive evn on camera, definately BMX kinda jumps,look at those landings they look like lips, easy to over jump, i would love to see some one jump them. they would be a hero :D
they look used check out the spray paint on the lips also i agree with kizza, the last of the pack doenst even look like its been formed, tight as gap aswell, i guess you would probably have to see them in person though
fuck me silly, they even look big on camera, u got the balls to hit up LTR?

If anyone will hit them up on Monday i'll come out and film it. I can pick u up and drop you off.
I'm keen to make a short clip before the jumps get destroyed, so we need a crew to come out.
Who's up for it???
Psst... check out the cheap heckler i have for sale!

I'm tempted but i haven't hit up DJ's for ages and i recon i'd hesitate and eat shit!! If there is room, sure, but i really want a crew to session them. Nick Wright said he'd come and have a look, come on.... Who's got the gusto to hit them up!!!!!!!!
curtisrider

petri
09-06-2004, 05:41 PM
Monday, late morning. Meet anywhere that dosen't say Mc Donalds on it.
Whaddya recon?
how do i find him?
Mel Ref: 5 D4 (Marker Road). Park there. Chuck your bikes over the fence going downhill. Go to the far right of that where there is a factory or gas works or something and follow that fence on your right. Follow it all the way down to the creek and you will be able to turn right. Follow the creek along the side until you see the jumps on the otherside. You will have to jump the creek.
There is an MX track on one side of the river with hittable jumps on it too. But its like right next to the quarry.
I might show up to show you lads them. btw. im shit and wont be able to do them.

Did anyone get out there on Monday???
LTR, let me know if you're going out there again any time soon (if it doesn't clash with the State DH Champs). I'm just up the road from you and can give you a lift if i'm free. I'd love to hit up those little fukers!!!
