Its going to be big enough to keep you all happy I hope. Its to be done in phases, so there wont be many lines on day one, but each line will be big and fun. Tentative plan right now for Phase 1 (subject to formal agreement from CE) is:

1 x 1 dot run that is all rollable with 2 sizes of tables and drops as it goes, splitting into 2 lines half way down. Jump size 2-3 foot high.

1 x 2 dot run that features a big wall ride halfway down, and drops etc that are rollable, but not at any speed. combination of tables and doubles at each jump. 3-5 ft high.

2 x 3 dot runs, with mandatory drops and gaps, no chicken runs. one of those 2 runs will split into 2 lines half way down. Jumps from 5ft high and up, drops of up to 6-7 ft at the face, which means bigger at speed as some of the drops will be on steep terrain.

Sounds really darn nice!

I might start a Kickstarter fund to get webcams installed at all the drops/gaps. There will be some comedy gold up there.

The air ambulance has been on speed dial since the red opened!!

Hell yawwwh! Gonna be so many guys on XC bikes hitting the big stuff :/ Oh I forgot to mention, This is being built next to the gully. Pretty big area to work with.

😆

Oi Weeksy, looks like your new bike came at just the right time 😀

Nice! Give my SB66c a proper workout 🙂

People are gonna get hurt, gulley rats might have reason for a DH bike, gaps will be cased at a phenomenal rate.

More local stuff to ride, would gladly lend a hand.

More local stuff to ride, would gladly lend a hand.well, to be fair it’s there choice to ride stuff they can’t handle. Last october I saw a guy smash his front wheel into the landing of one of the gaps in axle run, he broke his wrist and fractured most of his ribs. It’s there choice really.

If you can’t jump, don’t jump.
If you can’t do gaps. don’t do them
if you can’t do drops, don’t hit em!
People will get hurt. But it’s there fault and their stupid cockyness

Gotta start somewhere, or were you born with an innate ability to hit 20 foot gap jumps?

Sounds like a good set of trails to progress on. Hell I’m interested by the first two at least!

Sounds like a good set of trails to progress on. Hell I’m interested by the first two at least! Yeah gotta start somewhere, but not on the big stuff! And yeah, the first 2 sound the most appealing to me the third one sounds like it would be alot more technical and a bit slower

I have broken bones on the blue and nearly knocked my self out on the red so I will probably be one of the first fatalities on the black.

Where is the nearest hospital?
Do they have an A&E?
Any plans by the government to close the A&E

Don’t forget the yellow paint

On a serious note if people regularly get hurt and they will, because of something that you have built whether the riders choice or not. Do you not have to provide some sort of on site first aid.

Or would you be worried about patching someone up and then sending them on there way only to have them bend over at home and have a rib explode into their chest and then them suing for not being treated correctly.

And if you do send a steady flow of broken people to the nearest A&E will the local authority’s not get upset by the small fortune they are laying out in petrol, X-rays and plaster of Paris.

So anyone who’s not a natural born jump-god should leave the new blacks to the likes of you…….. Who injure themselves by forgetting their bike is still set up for a canal towpath?

Ha and indeed ha.

Hoisted!

That must have been the cause of the crash too, no one can jump without 6″ of suspension. Impossible.

I’m gonna give you one of these: 🙄

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/hit-jump-with-lock-out-enabled-on-suntour-epicon-forkIn the end it wasn’t on lockout. I THOUGHT It was. When I got home that evening I stored the bike upside down. Thus draining the oil away from the lockout system. when i took it out again it wouldn’t lockout for that reason. Cause of crash – to much speed and overshot the landing completely.

Anyway. Who rides with a locked out fork on a towpath? I only said what I said because It’s true. Someone may do the all the jumps in gully, and think there up to the level of the blacks.

Maybe I’m going blind, but I can’t see anything about new trails on the page that you’ve linked…….
