Tell me what ya think. BTW the burm isnt complete yet. An yes soz to say guys but the track is secret for now

[Scully]

looks pretty sweet. have u hit the gap up yet?

[junior]

how long is the track LEX ?

[LEX]

Hahah Get stuffed scully im a hartail rider im not doing that dam creek gap a mate has tho on a DH team. There are many other lines and a smaller launch over that creek and the big launch will eventually have a wooded tranny to launch onto. The bit of the track shown there is about 60m in total but there is going to be more of a terain park kinda setup there.

This pic is of the Big drop there.. Its a 3m drop to tranny In the bottom right . It looks sketchy in the photo but its sweet.

[kalem]

i'd build dirt landing's instead of that wooden stuff, if the dirt's there why not? look's like it could be fun tho'

[LEX]

Yeh thats another trick by the photo... The runoff from that launch to pallet is actually a sloped dirt track. You dont even need to hit that pallet if a dont need to

[Patto]

Nice work mate...got some potential there. Wouldn't mind having a ride sometime when you finish it off. Is it in wahroonga?

[Carlin]

The track looks like fun, but it is pretty close to some houses by the looks of things. What do the neibours think of it? If they ring up the council and complain it won't be "secret" for very long.

I'm not trying to pull you down, just saying it would be a shame if all your hard work went to waste :wink:

Is that a PVC pipe for storm water runoff on the left?

[LEX]

The neighbours to the right are road riders i think and the other who live on the street just want to see us ride that stuff 8)

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

looks alright man....how easy is it all? that launch onto the wooden tranny looks kind of tight outta the berm.
hard to tell from pics though

[Carlin]

The neighbours to the right are road riders i think and the other who live on the street just want to see us ride that stuff 8)

Ahh that's cool. The people who live in my suburb are not so understanding, There is one lady who seems to be home 24hours a day who goes nuts when you ride through a firebreak between the houses and the bush. she rants on about erosion when we are riding on grass.

[j-ro]

Indeed it is mate, by the looks of it a 100mm drain out from downpipes and a floorwaste on the deck.

Never seen it tho, so i may be wrong.
If so, that dirt supporting the launch may not be so supporting.

Looks good tho matey!

[chandler_mate]

that place will last about 5 minutes

[arnott]

why make burms and landing out of wood, it appears you have a fair bit of dirt to use

[LEX]

The launch to tranny is sweet as. I did it today on my Ht and it was sweet.

Here is my 1st atempt at the main launch.... Stacked it HARD CORE

My second Atempt. Smooth as hell
http://www.eengoedidee.nl/videoz/mountainbike/p7050004.mov

It has lasted about 2 weeks now and hopefully it will stay.

[Samuel]

sic mate how long have you been workin on it for :?: you should use dirt for the berms and landings insted of wood :lol:

[LEX]

We try but the dirt there is Shit. Its all dusty and full of rocks and rubbish. The only good dirt in the area is the crap that comes from the creek bed. We have been working on it for about 3 or so days

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

can I ride this track?

[spuddy]

Freeride......Track...... :?: :?: :?: :?:

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

yes, it could be an oxymoron

[LEX]

hahah good point spuddy. well u get the idea the point is to be smooth and style insted of speed.

[Rik]

But smoothness + style = speed...

[LEX]

mmm good point. I think ill just sit here and sut up now lol....

Some ppl have alredy found out about the track and if your 1 of them plz don't spred its location around

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

so should take down the posters?

[chandler_mate]

[dick]

Hahah Get stuffed scully im a hartail rider

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

I think it's awesome.

I tried to make a track once, but it was hard. Got any tips?

[LEX]

its about a 3m drop over a 3m gap so yeh its pretty big for a HT.

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

[LEX]

the track is for personal use, but due to its tempoary nature we might start telling ppl

[Giant_Fridge]

Nah the tracks heaps good.. i did i 360 off the big launch and then a rockstar of the creak gap.. easy.. needs like 30ft drops and stuff..

[Kammy]

[mtbmx]

its not his property just ring up every person in wahroonga thats street is next to bush and ask if they have little hoodlums riding next to thier house and if so go to that house and you shall find the track

[Kammy]

[Malfuctioning Eddie]

I wish I had a secret track, then i could feel special.............

[Kammy]
