Ashgrove Jumps discussion/Work Group

[yogibear]

Hello All.

Ok form the positive response recieved out of Ruckus Lord's thread and interest shown By Gavin Finlay from Ashgrove cycles and Oppy I think it's time to make progress towards the repair/change of the ashgrove Blue nurses jumps. I'm going to propose that we as a collective group of riders form a trail and jump discussion/work comittee. This will involve all of us sitting down together to decide on the direction in which we believe the jumps be Designed, Built and Maintained.

I will be liaising with Gav and we hopefully will be able to set a date for everyone to get together and discuss what needs to be done, who will be involved and have a realistic idea about what we will be able to achieve. Already we have many fantastic idea's posted on the previous thread. I need everyone who is serious about getting involved to come along and bring their Idea's. I'm going to suggest that we include the Adelade dirt jump park as an example to show the councill representative who will be aproving or denying the proposal, that it has been done before with great success.

Now we have to be realistic about what we plan on submitting. The safer the better. There is very little chance of getting 25ft doubles built by the councill. So I would suggest smaller, table top type jumps preferably with a 10-15 foot take off to landing, transfer lines, hips and maybee a berm or two. I would like to see the majority of the land available used. Ryan also suggests a wall ride(thats a tops Idea) and anything else you wish to add bring along to the discussion group.

The discussion group will be for anyone who wants to do some work, bring some Idea's or simply come along to support and find out what we plan on getting together. A date will hopefully be set in the near future and we can do something about getting some decent jumps in our area. Please support this group as the more people we show to have an interest, the more chance we will be able to have something done.

I would also like to take this opportunity to apologise to Gav Finlay and Ashgrove Cycles for inappropriate discussions and misdirected frustrations towards him by myself and others, as he has put in more effort towards the jumps than anyone else and has put more into the local riding community than anyone cares to notice. All of this dispite any of our overly boistrous internet forum based opinions. We all still love you Gav. This is a mountain biking community, lets keep it that way and work together people.

More info as it comes to hand.

Cheers, Matt ;)

Boo, snake.

We need a list of people who are willing to contribute and who are going to follow through on this if it's going to be a success. It will take a long time. We will need to work on the jumps at least one Saturday / Sunday a month at first for it to work.

We also need someone with art skills to draw a decent plan of how the finished area should look, the more pro the better.

We need people who can present themselves to council without looking like unwashed, uneducated dolts.

We need people who can swing shovels and build and shape jumps.

We need people who can get their mates keen to help out at doing something awesome.

My suggestions from the previous thread;

- Stunts / skills area. If you've ridden Bronwyn's you know the BCC aren't necessarily averse to 'North Shore' style stunts / drops / bridges etc.
- Wallride, real one. Wall that you can ride your bike on, left side and right side entry and exits so it's not on anyone's 'wrong side' , part of the "big line" so squids can't get in to hit it easily and kill themselves.
- Pump track; hells yeah. Nuff said.
- Better utilisation of existing space, no huge empty areas of bare dirt being used for nothing in particular.
- Fix up roll in, proper drainage so that it doesn't get rutted out when it rains.

Also, the jumps need to be rebuilt, IMBA style if we're going to have a big set that squids won't fuck up, that looks like this only our big line will be kickier and closer together, hopefully;

http://forums.farkin.net/photo/data/500/medium/jumppark_1_highres.jpg

Then we can have hips, berms, wallrides and so on as part of the big line that will be extremely difficult for kids to get onto and kill themselves, while still giving them enough lines to progress their skills that they'll be ready for the big line.

People confirmed so far are;

ooh matt's a snakee :p

as i said in the other thread - shit definately needs to be done and done properly

can do the above. unfortunately, im not much of an artist!

i'll copy and paste my suggestions from the other thread in a second

also, apologies to Gav for digging into him.

[leitch]

here are my suggestions as communicated in the previous thread:

all the sets start from the same run in (ie, the current one). you have them decreasing in difficulty from right to left - the far right set will be the biggest, most "trailsy" set as you say - two (maybe three if you can fit them) doubles running towards the dog park, leading into a left hand berm on that corner which runs to another 4/6pack of similar size. these jumps could easily be built to the size and form of ferny or similar, and still conform to the "must not be dug out doubles" rule. you could even chuck the wallride above the berm there, though it would then be confined to those who wallride to the left.

the other number of sets then progress in decreasing difficulty to the left: a set the size of the current big set (but built better), a set in between the current big and "medium" sets, a set the size of the mediums, and a set smaller, totalling 5 sets of jumps. obviously there would be space limitations and that would have to be addressed - some directional changes would no doubt be necessary, potentially requiring the removal of those couple of trees behind where those stormwater drains sit. the sets of jumps could then progress to the centre of the park, with the 3 biggest sets following a similar L-shaped course as outlined above for the biggest set - hopefully allowing transfers etc to be developed between them.

the table top could stay in its current position, with some work done to help it be more sustainable - ie to help minimise the rutting that plagues its downramp.

the building of a pumptrack would be harder to do. going by how much the place is used by general recreational riders (read: little kids) i imagine a pump track would quickly become very worn and ultimately be no more than a few little lumps on the ground - any flow in it as a pump track would be lost. i guess it could be a good sacrifice to keep kids off the bigger jumps to stop them being destroyed, but as far as keeping it as a pump track, it would need some serious maintenance.

one more thing that i think would be really benificial would be signage. by signing the big set as "black diamond" or whatever, and signing the others in decreasing difficulty, i imagine you could do a lot to deter little kiddies from just rolling over them. im sure their size and scope would help, but i think signage would be really beneficial - things like "Warning: Black Diamond Run - Ride at Your Own Risk" or whatever with like a big black diamond in the middle. even just something similar to the blue posts at the start of McFrenzie in Toowoomba would be really good. i just think signage would be really helpful.

anyway, thats enough from me for now - please discuss/criticise/add to anything above... sharing is caring

[Mugger]

Posting interest in the group, one thing I've found with that area is that it does lack shades in some areas so perhaps after everything is set up we can set up some more shady areas around the place which means the DRCC comps won't be a tanning festive.

Pump track would be great that possibly could link up with any of the berms we make, but something that goes around the vicinity of the area would be nice.

Leelikesbikes.com (http://www.leelikesbikes.com/category/cool-rides/pump-tracks/) has a great section on building pump tracks as well as other trail building information that we could utilize.

Ryan: Possible in that pic have the pump track where you can jump in after doing the berm which goes around the log ride like a race track sorta shape.

I have my own shovels and have built shit loads of jumps around the place, I helpd shape some public jumps near my house.




Will there be aq complete knock down and re-start? or are we going to incorperate whats there?

Post up build dates and I'll be there with bells on.

[yogibear]

Boo, snake.
haha what ever. It needs to have it's own thread don't you think. So :p

Will there be a complete knock down and re-start? or are we going to incorperate whats there?


Hopefully we will be completely redesigning the site. But this will all be discussed at the discussion group. We still have to find out what we are allowed to do.

[leitch]

matt. as i said to ryan last night, if you need any help around drafting proposals or anything, im pretty handy with a pen so would be more than happy to help.

Onya Crew,

Many hands make light work, funding with OUT Corporate support????/liason with the B.C.C. is impossible in 2007????
Promise I'll get online more often to help the common cure, more cleaner safer, funner, bigger??? and reliable jumps.
Yes we need a wall ride and better flow for all rider requirments, re alignment Yes also (Funding???) but please always remember liability and up keep, to reduce insurance costs to the B.C.C. ( I guess???)

Looks as if 05/05/07 is an ideal date to get the Brisbane Bike Crew(under guise of DRCC) together to set up an initial jump/trail care crew for our much loved Blue Nurses.

If You would like to set up and be part of the proposed DRCC/Ashgrove Blue Nurses Jump/Trail care crew (BIT of A mouthfull?)Cmon Andy L (PR) it up pls!!!
Lets chat more, and set up a New Age MTB ing form of structure please ASAP, you no who I am when and where, Go Ashy crew @ Tredbo Yeah!!
P.S. Amazing what productivity can be attaned with smooth operations!!!!EH
Gf Sliding OUT, PS #2 Cya @ brooky ( for DRCC build TIMES contact Ashy Shop 33660379 or build miester Joe Joe Jnr 0422948338).

Palindronic name, you're cool in my books :D

Mugger - There are about 10 million options for putting a pump track in as there's so much free space to utilise at the moment. If it's built properly and blue grooved / black lined afterwards it will require very little maintenance in the long term as there's no jumping and no need to use brakes on a properly constructed one, the biggest concern would be proper drainage if it ever rains again.

I'm willing to do the writing of various stuff, plenty of experience in that department but I'd definitely welcome any help.

I'm so lacking in artistic ability that I actually make other people less artistic by being in my vicinity. I've got a mate who does ID for Colony BMX who's a dab hand with a pen and pad and a mad dirt jumper to boot, I shall hit him up in the next few days to provide us with pretty pictures.

A shade structure is a definite must in the long term, but will have to be something indestructible and non-flammable as the BCC has a bit of a phobia about what bike-riding kiddies might do if anything damageable was built in the vicinity.

I'm not too bad with the old pen and paper y'know.

[leitch]

I'm not too bad with the old pen and paper y'know.

we're talking jump designs here drew... not poems about what a black abyss your heart is

[Oppy]

Ok a few things for you guys.

I see there are two main issues here:

1 Maintanence. People want to do some work to the jumps to make them have more lip so they can go bigger higher etc.

2 Redevelopment. We have a great area designated for DJ and riding in general as council calls it a "Youth Space" however it is not utilised to it's full potential.

Redeveloping the area will take time and money. I gather redevelopment is what everybody wants? Exactly what it is developed to will be something we can thrash out later.

Gav rang me about having a working bee at Ashgrove on Saturday May 5th. I think this would be a good opportunity to meet up and talk about the area and if I can get permission do some touch-up work to the jumps. If we can do some work it would be minor maintanence with the view of establishing regular maintanence of the area through the D'Aguilar Range Cycle Club becoming an inducted Trail Care Group.

I would also like to clarify that the jumps are not actually my responsibility they are managed by are "Open Space Parks" area I work in "Natural Area" parks ie Mt Coot-tha. The bush directly behind the jumps is managed as part of Mt Coot-tha hence my involvment in this (and of course my interest in riding my bike). I will need to liase internally with our open space parks people to help make this happen.

The Ashgorve Shop and D'Aguilar Club have an established relationship with the council as well as a good relationship with the local councillor. The club also has been around for a long time so there is credibility in an approach from the club. The council would want to see some committment in the longer term if they are going to spend money on a rebuild not just a couple of "kids" (as they may see it) who are asking for something then are just going to move onto something else in a couple of months.

In regard to putting up a shelter it is not so much the people who are riding the bikes that wreck them it's usually the 'hangers on" who sit there and never ride. It's a fact that parks can and do attrack "undesirables" after dark and after hours. This is not something we as riders want.

[Rider15]

I live near ashgrove. If I had more info on where it is I may be able to help out.

[leitch]

one would hope that "Monoplane St" and " www.whereis.com.au " would be enough for you to find that out ;)

[GravityGuru]

A shade structure is a definite must in the long term, but will have to be something indestructible and non-flammable as the BCC has a bit of a phobia about what bike-riding kiddies might do if anything damageable was built in the vicinity.

And quite rightly as of saturday! I turned up around lunchtime-ish to see clouds of smoke coming from the jumps and a few kids riding off into the forestry behind the jumps. They had set fire to the mulch on the side of all the jumps. Me and i few others that were there did our best to put it out, then i went for a bit of a ride, then went off to get a feed, only to return to two police officers taking down everyone's details (including mine due my perfectly timed return). So i'm assuming there is now a nice police report filed about the degenerate youth that frequent the blue nurses jumps. A big thanks to whoever did it!

[shiznik]

yeah, thats not uncommon down there.
*badword* some people need some sense knocked into them.
Im down there every now and then so ill check this thread for a date when I can bring my shovel down and help the rebuild :)

[GravityGuru]

Oh and I forgot to mention that I am more than willing to help out. I can't do much in the of design etc because i wouldn't have a clue. But i'm happy to push wheelbarrows and dig...

[Air time erik]

My mates and i went for a day at nurses during our Exam block last year one of the best days riding it looked like rain so we moved out stuff to the dog off leash area hut had our bags on the table just sitting talking, suddley the cops pull up take our details, apparently a neighbour to the park had phoned in and claimed that we where lighting fires on tables, so i dont doubt your story!!!

just tell me when and i shall be there with shovel!!!

[bunya djer n dher]

whenever you want someone to shape the jumps etc.. im your man. :p

when you no whats happening, what time., date. pm me :)

[Keelsy]

I was there on Saturday and I came from the car park to seeing kids lighting fires and blowing stuff up. It wasn't until the kids who lit the fire had gone and me and some mates were putting the fires out that the police rocked up. So all the people who were there now have a file for the police thanks to a few dickheads.

[blackjack]

oh that wouldnt have looked half guilty or anything lance......

[Booost]

Yeh I am happy to help. I ride their a lot and am happy to put some digging hours in to improve the jumps.

[DH_co]

oh that wouldnt have looked half guilty or anything lance......

Ok if your cool getting a file with the cops then good for you.

[leitch]

Ok if your cool getting a file with the cops then good for you.
its not a criminal record, dude...

[DH_co]

Really, sorry op1 boy for not knowing everything......;)
Just going on what he said.

Back on topic.

[will...]

Yeah fires and shit are a regular occurance there, those dickheads probably go to my school, I know of people who always used to do it (i.e. know them to say hello to, not mates or anything). I'll ask around and see who was there.

[MATT_82]

yeah i know who it was, ill talk to you at school tommorow will

[d_j1]

Will you too tough nut gung-ho wanna be cops get the fuck back on topic.
I'm very interested in anything to do with Nurses, as I sick of having Payne Rd. and Nurses as the only poor ass excuse for jumps in my rideable area. I can dig and am not too bad at sculpting. I can be presentable for council and put together a logical and mature argument.

[chas3]

the jumps are getting destroyed, went there yesterday after a mate got concussed or how ever u spell it and the lips on the big dogs are so so so so so ****. No fun going there anymore. So whenever n e thing is happening ill come and help out.

[MATT_82]

yeah i went there today, theyre preety screwed up

[safetysam]

who is the absolute squid that raped the ass out of the jumps? ive seen better craftsmanship on the challenger space shuttle.

[kjf]

who is the absolute squid that raped the ass out of the jumps? ive seen better craftsmanship on the challenger space shuttle.

Haha, now thats good.
I went there a few days ago, the lip on the first big one was pretty much verticle, it was still wet and i saw this retard punch it, so there was a hole in it.

[MATT_82]

even though theyre steeper you get less height for some reason, theyre so S*it

[GravityGuru]

Me and leitch built the lip up the other day, we were just trying to get a bit of volume in the lip and get it compacted down. We spent 2 and a half hours building up the lip and fixing up the run in, only to have some squid punch a whole in the lip while it was drying. I came back in the morning and hit it and realised that it wasn't quite right (probably to steep), wasn't giving any height despite being steeper, my crank was comin loose though and i forgot my tools so i had to head home with the intention of coming back the next day to fix the lip now that it had hardened, only to have leitch tell me in the afternoon that it had been destroyed. It's tough to make the jumps perfect from their current condition over night, and it makes it even harder when the squid patrol comes along "OMGZ THeze Lip IS the Shitest!!1Shift1!" and destroy it completely. Who's putting there hand up next to have a crack at some maintenance?

EDIT: It's hard to tell with the amount of changes that happen to those jumps but i doubt we were the ones that "raped the arse out of the jumps" because it was lookin half decent when we left. Whoever cut the big ruts out of them needs there head read though

just tell me a time and ill be there, school providing

i spoke to gav a couple of days ago and he's still pretty keen - he's been having a chat to oppy and co, and there should be a build day set sometime in the near future - it was going to be May 5th (saturday week), but i think it will get pushed back a week or two so as to enable people to actually get there.

will keep you updated as gav tells me details

[yogibear]

Yeah Sorry guys Toowoomba put a bit of a spanner in the works. If anyone is interested maybe we could try and reschedule for sunday june the 17th 4 weeks from now. As this weekend is too soon, next weekend is DH round 3 and the following weekend is Coffs Harbour. So 4 weeks will give us plenty of time. I'll have a chat with Gav at ashgrove and let you know.

Thanks Lads.

[GravityGuru]

Setting dates is all well and good, but i think the pressing question is... who is bringing the refreshing ales :D

[leitch]

Aight, things are moving and wheels are turning. just got this from Gav himself:

Hi Andrew,

The D'Agulair Range Cycle Club's Formal application hfor the Ashgrove Jumps has been approved by BCC Parks West.
It all looks good for the D'Agulair Range Cycle Club and assocciated parties to become a formal trail care group to look after the Monoplane St dirt jumps and trails up behind them. Chris 'Oppy' needs to do some internal risk assessment of the dirt jumps before we can have the public working on them. So no Diggin Yet
Sunday 1 July is good to go 830am-1230am, I'll bring the DRCC BBQ and marque. I
We should get all the interested parties together on July 1, so we can talk
about what is going on and show the group any plans for the area and get
some feed back.

hahaha yeah. i was going to edit the Gav spelling, but i thought i should leave it raw :p

[Oppy]

Aight, things are moving and wheels are turning. just got this from Gav himself:



July 1, 830am onwards, BBQ and Big Matts beers. Hit it up

Funny looks remarkably similar to this ;)

Dear Gav,

Thanks for your formal application. It all looks good for the D'Agulair Range Cycle Club to become a formal trail care group to look after the Monoplane St dirt jumps and trails up behind them. I need to do some internal risk assessment of the dirt jumps before we can have the public working on them. I hope to have this done prior to our first working bee.

Sunday 1 July is good, you bring the BBQ I'll bring a a marque. I would like to get all the interested parties together so we can talk about what is going on and show people some plans for the area and get some feed back.

Yours Sincerely,


Christopher Maierhofer B.Eng (Env)
Trail Care Coordinator
Local Asset Services - West
Brisbane City Council

Things are looking very positive for this. Good on ya Gav for putting in the effort to submit the 9 page proposal to get this underway. The get togther on the 1st will be to talk about what you guys want in the area and for you guys to understand what the council's expectations are and what the BBC wants to see happen in exchange . This is a two part deal there are the dirt jumps and the trail up in the bush behind the jumps. The application is to look after both of these areas which will hopefully meet the needs of a broad variety of the riders in the area. There are unauthorised trails and illegal building going on in the area and that has to stop for this to be successful. What I want to see is a win-win for riders in the area and the council.

[Air time erik]

Hopefully Work wont give me a bs shift on the 1st, i will be there!!! do we bring, shovels and mattocks, or leave them at home cause its just a talk?:confused:

[GravityGuru]

Is it to early to put in requests for the BBQ? If not, Rump steak, medium. As for drinks, I don't want to be a pain so either TEDs or Bundabergs finest will do :D

now now matt.. surely a refined gentleman such as yourself would not lower yourself to Golds? surely a couple of cartons of stella would be more to your taste?

[GravityGuru]

Best type of beer is a free beer ;)

And as for complaining: "Moaning about the brand of a free beer is forbidden. However, Complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable."

For someone that has never been there, but would be keen to come - where are the jumps - end of monoplane street? visible, etc? Parking?

[leitch]

right next to the dog park at the end of monoplane street/behind the blue nurses home at the end of barnett road. you honestly cannot miss them - they're not hidden or anything

edit: if you come in via the barnett road way, there is a carpark.

[yogibear]

Bump this baby up! Next weekend boyo's!

[MATT_82]

[Ryan]

well should be a good day!

How many people come should be a non issue as we'll only start as much work as we can finish.

Whether or not it's still pissing with rain will be the clincher I reckon.

[Ruckus_Lord]

Whether or not it's still pissing with rain will be the clincher I reckon.

Well, at least we won't have to worry about hoses and wasting water for the jumps then! Chuck on ya raincoat and gumboots and dig!

mmmm muddy goodness...

[blackjack]

yep ill be there. gav is pretty sick at the present. so i dont know if he will be present. any questions feel free to pm me as we have been in contact with oppy, and i work at the bike shop close by.

[Ryan]

Having chatted to Gav this afternoon he's extremely sick, in hospital and may not even be out by the weekend. As such, he more than likely will not be there on Sunday.

However, we're forging ahead, the meet/build day is still 100% on and we expect everyone who's been posting in this thread to come!

8am-12pm, Sunday July 1st, Ashgrove / Blue Nurses Jumps. Come. Bring Shovels. Bring booze for after if you're 18+. We have your IP addresses, we will track down non-attendees!

[leitch]

the ever-reliable weather report predicts it to be f*cking cold, but sunny on sunday.

bring watering cans, guys...

[i like dirt]

Will there be another day after this one?

[Ruckus_Lord]

No. Never. If you do not attend, you will be banished for eternity. I'll be there, in all my over 18 glory....
.
.
.
.
Weather shmether, i'll only not be there if it's pouring down rain, hail, maybe even cows.

[shiznik]

I would be there...if I wasnt in Cairns.

you going to throw a bike at someone mid race run next?

[derelikt]

I might pop around and see whats going on a little later.

[GravityGuru]

Good turn out today :D Jumps are lookin faaar better. Someone throw up some before and after shots either here or in phat snaps. Props to all those who grabbed a shovel (especially the bmx kid's dad who turned up and helped all day) and all those who put in the effort organising. Nurses are on the up and up :eek:

EDIT: had to pick up a coke can and a pepsi bottle when I left at 530... damn kids ;)

And also, If possible, we should get some signs up ASAP!!! Outlining what we are trying to achieve with the jumps. I heard a few young kids this arv saying "they wrecked the bigs, you can't even roll them now" I think we should get something up showing that we are planning to make jumps to cater to there abilities if they leave the big ones intact.

[Disturbed.Rider]

I'm sooo sory I couldnt make it.....I just had no way of getting there. :(

I'll deffinatly be at the next one.

indeed it was a good day with a better than expected turnout. what were you riding?

[GravityGuru]

indeed it was a good day with a better than expected turnout. what were you riding?

I was on the Rhythm

[Air time erik]

Was a great day got heaps of work done!!!

Getting some signs up is a great Idea...



Today 02:54 PM
Disturbed.Rider I'm sooo sory I couldnt make it.....I just had no way of getting there.

I'll deffinatly be at the next one.


Sounds liek a cop-out, you got a bike its called riding!!!

[blackjack]

24" wheels with shermans?

[GravityGuru]

24" wheels with shermans?

That's the one

[MATT_82]

yeah, some squid kids were like "oh man they wrecked the jumps, theres a log in one and theres these huge steep things going up on the big ones"

But was a good day and got a heap done, so whens the next one?

Oh, i was on the pink bike;)

Matt

[blackjack]

That's the one

tru tru. you probally know who i was. guy riding the black orange jump bike. thanks for comming out and lending a hand mate. next one should be some time next month. massive props out to everyone that came out

[will...]

Yeah, they are a whole lot better for not even a days work, Thanks Oppy and Gav for organising it, hope that there is another decent turnout next time!

[blackjack]

yea thats a good point will. for about 3 hours work from about 13 people. we fixed up the two big set. and the first two of the mediums, as well as a bit of work on the big berm and fixing the run in to the jumps. so going by that at the next one we should be able to get the last medium and the two jumps out the back kicking. would be nice to see everyone again at the next one, as well as anyone that missed out on this one. no official date yet but it will be posted up as soon as its set.

[shiznik]

Sounded like a very productive day!
Will def make it out to the next one,
Did anyone happen to take pics of the days work?

[blackjack]

yep haydo did, oppy did, and i think joey did aswell. will try and get them posted up asap for all of the guys that came allong. would you like them posted in phat snaps or in here?

[Oppy]

Thanks to all the guys who turned up shovel in hand ready to do some work. We got a lot done and everyone just dug in which was great to see. I have some pictures as does Haydo, if I have any decent ones I'll up load them later.

Haydo, Gav and I need to work out what's next on the agenda and when to do it. The club has taken on dual roles in the councils "Trail Care" program one is looking after the DJ's the other is looking after the trails in the area.

As BlackJack said "so going by that at the next one we should be able to get the last medium and the two jumps out the back kicking." So I think that is pretty much what most of us had in mind for the DJ's.

On the trails side of things I'll wait till Gav is back on his feet before working out the next step there.

Thanks once again for stepping up and making a difference.

Oppy.

[GravityGuru]

My only complaint about the day... and to me it's already starting to show that cracks are forming in the management side of things, and makes me wonder whether they can be relied on in the future ... No sauce ;)

[j-rad]

i think as soon as it rains they will go away

its cause the sun is baking all the moister out of them which meen they will srink

[shiznik]

would you like them posted in phat snaps or in here?


Posting them in here and the link in phat snaps (vise versa (sp?)) would be best.

[GravityGuru]

Keep up Mr radical, the cracks I was referring to, were the cracks forming in the managment group by forgetting the sauce ;)

[Air time erik]

Did they last over night?

Biggest problem, NO BEER!

[will...]

Yeah, they're still sweet, they are cracking a bit though.......

[siz]

You lads got any pics of the work done?

[desj]

I went to the jumps this morning and someone has stuffed the first two little sets:mad:.There were two holes in the middle of both jumps about a foot wide.I was looking forward to a few jumps.It is a shame that someone would do something like that for no apparent reason:confused:.The two big sets were left alone so hopefully they dont go back.

[Ryan]

Name names. Lyyyyyynnccccchhhhhhh moooooooooooooob!!1!

[GravityGuru]

We haven't had good linchin since the summer of tickety two.... I've got my sack of doorknobs ready to go...

[leitch]

Name names. Lyyyyyynnccccchhhhhhh moooooooooooooob!!1!

im super impressed with your dedication. with your high quality internet, that would have taken at least 90 seconds of waiting just to post that.

as for naming names, not for now - im not certain it was them. that said, i was up at the dog park yesterday afternoon, and they were hanging around looking like the dirty little bowl rats they are, and were the only ones there.. could well have been them - theyre the type of kids who spray paint "PJ is gay" everywhere etc...

[GravityGuru]

theyre the type of kids who spray paint "PJ is gay" everywhere etc...

So they're not that bad :p

Can never miss a chance to jump on board with bagging PJ

[Ruckus_Lord]

It's that sleezebag dole bludging Ryan c*nt who rides the DMR, I saw him down there at 2:00am on tuesday with a bottle of meth and a chainsaw. Honest.

[GravityGuru]

oh man... a little bit of wee just came out... and I'm employed now!

[Air time erik]

Was at the jump yesterday....bad news...the medium set is cracked and chunks have started falling off it...this applys to the first one and second one:(...the second medium is still hitable..was watching several kids boost off it nicely...and the large set...is still in prime condition.:rolleyes:

[slip]

That's interesting.

Has any maintenance been performed on the jumps since the meeting?
Was a group put together to take control of their maintenance?

[Air time erik]

Yes...part of the club ...but we gotta look after the trails and bush-land behind there, as well.

All I call see its like we build, the jumps are good for a week and then they turn to shit again:confused:

And I dont see a way of stopping it.

Any ideas?

[slip]

My idea would be to analyse and address the issues causing the deterioration. Is it overuse, type of dirt, build method, lack of clay, weather, rider neglect etc? How are the big jumps different? If they are staying together while the others disintegrate that may the first place to look. The jumps at Ferny Grove seemed well built - you could talk to the guy that does them, maybe get him to come down and give you his input

Just in case of internet misinterpretation - I'm not having a go at anyone. Couldn't make the meeting, and have never even been there, just asking the questions. I would like to ride them, but obviously theres no point if they are fubar.

[GravityGuru]

I believe a lot of the problem is the jumps intentionally being damaged... ie kids knocking of lips so they can jump them... That and the crack addicts. I think smaller sets need to be built/fixed so that the younger kids don't alter the big set other wise we are wasting our time fixing them up.

[slip]

What about a big arse sign or 2 at the run up point and just before first jump of each set?

These jumps are built and maintained by X Club, a group of riders. Please do not alter or destroy the jumps, they are built by riders, for riders. If the jumps require attention, please contact Mr So and So on 0416545640 or email asldfds@alsdfl.com.

That's pretty shit, but you get the idea. It might make a difference, especially if they all get to a good standard, so noone bastardises the big set.

Like, a BIG sign. Big, easy to read, and no long crazy words (like responsible, or cantankerous) so the kids/morons know what it says.

[derelikt]

Im pretty sure the kids wreck them because it makes them feel warmer inside. So theres no point in putting a sign up, It'll just make them want to wreck them even more knowing that its pissing us off.

[GravityGuru]

I think it's a good idea! So good in fact that:
And also, If possible, we should get some signs up ASAP!!! Outlining what we are trying to achieve with the jumps. I heard a few young kids this arv saying "they wrecked the bigs, you can't even roll them now" I think we should get something up showing that we are planning to make jumps to cater to there abilities if they leave the big ones intact.
My signwriting skills are lacking so I don't think I'm up to the task, I'm looking towards any members of the DRCC here ?

[Air time erik]

I know its a long way off...Destroy and rebuild the entire place...The entire middle section is wasted...and the difference of skill level from the small rollers to the mediem set to the large set is massive...you could get about 5-6 working lines across the whole park...keeping the table top and little rollers...transfers lines in between all of them...would be fantastic....

As the jumps are now the medium set is to short to keep cutting new lips into....

[bunya djer n dher]

...Destroy and rebuild the entire place.

yep, exactly what i was thinking :)

we could have an awesome dirt jump park on our hands if we do.

[leitch]

I'll supply the diesel if one of you guys supplies the fertiliser...

[derelikt]

I'll supply the diesel if one of you guys supplies the fertiliser...

That can be arranged.

[Air time erik]

that would be a big kaboooooooooooom

[Ruckus_Lord]

I say we put killer dogs in capsuals under the lips, so when someone digs the lip off, BAM! Dog in the face.

[GravityGuru]

See we need to stop messing around with stupid Ideas like making bombs with fertilizer and diesel, and come up with some resonable ideas like drew's dog capsules

[Keelsy]

What about digging out the middle of the jumps, as in so the speds cant do the jump anyway cause there is a hole in the middle. It might help, cause they wouldnt be able to do the jump anyway. Or just add some cement to the leps or something so they cant dig away at it.

[custard]

first jump on the bigs is fucked.. mega fucked.. almost vert fucked...

2nd is alright

and atm, the only way to hit the big set and clear the 2nd is to do the transfer...

otherwise... caseorama!

i beg to differ on that one...

i like hitting the first one straight on, very kicky but if you hit it right you get "popped" into the air and have enough speed for the second one.

the second one is fun, BUT i wish it was more "vert".

oh well, :p

[leitch]

first one was fuckin rad until some little kids cut the lip off the top, now its shit.

oh and erik, concrete is exactly what i was referring to ;)

[yogibear]

So is everyone on for the first weekend of next month!

If so lets put some of these awesome idea's into action! (is anyone willing to provide a killer dog! I have a pair of cocker spaniels that could do it but my missus wouldn't let me :( )

[GravityGuru]

Being the weekend of the 5th? Sounds ok to me... in fact I'm pretty sure it's the only free weekend I have until September... I think we need more time than we had for the last build day though!

If worse comes to worse we'll just peer pressure Ryan into it, dig him a nice hole, give him a 9mm and a few beers. You're down for that right, Ryan?

[GravityGuru]

Now this is just plain confusing... are you referring to me or to Old man winter? (please don't ban me) I think one of us should get a cool nickname for future reference... I would prefer "rainman".... but If you were talking to me... I'm gonna need a carton and a 9mm and I'll be more excited about it than leitch's mum when his dad's out of town :cool:

[Disturbed.Rider]

we were there today.

They're not that bad....20 mins with some water and a shovel would make them sweet.

I made the meds do-able, but not perfect....bigs are fine. I took pics of how they were before i did some work:
