[donthucktoflat]

tip: try moving the camera with the subject to keep the subject crisp or if you are trying for the blurring effect, then have a longer shutter speed cos it looks rather dodgy (the pic of the regular double)

yea, paddocks are getting a bit overgrown and daggy, they arent actually hitting the rhyths by the way though guys, just ride around them and hit the hip.

[Timmy Bee]

there the willoughby paddocks.... in willoughby believe it or not :D

[SouL]

i dont believe

[vando]

Where abouts in WIlloughby???

[master pain]

thats a secret...

[Captain Blake]

they are situated on eastern valley way

and while im still free im gonna answer the "are they legal" question

yes they are legal, they have been legal for ages (be coming close to 10 years)

the council has been wanting to build stuff there for at least 5 years, but willoughby council is fucking shocking, they cant get shit done
so the plans to build apartments were put off and put off

they said last year that they were gonna demolish the jumps, well the whole paddocks but it never happened, they were supposed to have started on building the apartments last year

but willoughby council is lazy and not good at doing anything

the jumps will stay legal until the apartment project is started

according to the council we have 100 hours of labour from the council, including equipment hire aka bobcats and shit

but unless we get some sort of lower north shore community going, we will never get riding on the lower north shore worth happening

so if you want to show support, send me a pm, but if i get banned, send me a email

cheers

[bolzy]

looks good and thoes jums do too

[Timmy Bee]

Where abouts in WIlloughby???


if your so far away that you dont know where willoughby is, its not worth the mission...

unclematt, are you sure they have been around for 10 years, i think thats a bit long, but i could be wrong.. the oldest ive heard of them being built was about 3/4 years ago, when it all started, that was told to us by bmxers who started it all.

[master pain]

they have been there for at least 5 years, maybe 10 actually...more likely 5 though as I know the bmxers who built them and they certainly wernt there 10 years ago.. also, the jumps which were there originally no longer exist as the council removed them, the only slightly original jump is the gap at the bottom which used to be part of the main set. The 4 pack in those pictures was put in after the council knocked down the main jumps and they supplied dirt to have a 4 pack, then a berm, then another 4 pack, which was pretty impossible as the second 4 pack would be going uphill. The jumps wont be there for much longer anyway, because houses will be being built in the new few months.

[ed the frog]

...which was pretty impossible as the second 4 pack would be going uphill...

you can't ride 4 packs uphill? come on dude, get with it, learn how to use that big black bike you have!

[super_niko]

[Laurie]

[sammy boy]

theyre not very over grown anymore :D and my friend and i are having a debate, in the third pic is that the second rythm or is it the first one???

[fred the emu]

that is the 1st jump of the small rythms

[sammy boy]

[fred the emu]

[freeride_ac]

ben

Umm, sorry ben u didnt see me jump the "big set" as they were only there for like a week. And u saw me jump today so...

[villy]

But alex the big set isnt exactly big anymore so its no mean feat.

[freeride_ac]

But alex the big set isnt exactly big anymore so its no mean feat.

Yeah but i still did it when it was "big"

[villy]

After a whole day of physicing up for it.

[Spooky]

Build a bridge and get over it. Sometimes(well most times) it takes me ages to get psyched for a jump, especially if it's of decent size. Thing is, he did it.

[maca192]

mmmm i was at those jumps 2 weeks ago. good times. some would should fix up the biggest one.

[emcgough]

After a whole day of physicing up for it.
That's weird. Personally, I like to study chemistry before I hit a gap, but physics, hmm... each to their own I guess.

[boney]

you can surely go higher on the wallride from the original pics

im looking at going over the post and through the gap on the other side :)
