needs to be organised properly with a team of guys who know what there up too, rather than giving a spade to every one and letting people dig wherever.. it will end up the same as rogate.. lines everywhere and people snaking each other.

hope something gets sorted as im fairly local, but there are some good places around Wink

Out  of interest can we use both sides of the hill after the felling us done Smiley? This would be wicked as we could expand rogate and add more lines. Though the new runs like said above need to be organized and not cris cros everywhere.

i;ve heard once the felling is done we get a choice, stay on the other side or go back,

i think we need to have dig days, only dig on scertain days, other than maintainance, that way things will be laied out properly, was fine digging when you wonted a few years ago, but the ammount of people there now it just becomes a mass or random rubbish,

and i also think a zero tollerance to littering, if you spot people dropping litter, or the usual little kids that hang about every weekend littering then tell them to sort it, its not fair to the rest of us!

i personally see issues coming wiht the other side, many many time we have built there and pretty much every time walkers have trashed the tracks, i can see that happening again!

trashed it on purpose? A few signs saying "Rogate Club" should help sort it out a bit....to show the walkers that its a legal place.

yeah saw them tracking a run once, they said 'what if a little kid rides down and hurts them self' we'll see, i have reservations about the whole area forestry dont wont us there.

the other side will ake some better runs i think, just corssing the fire road will be a big problem, you get alot of walkers, horses, dog walkers and motor bike trials blokes over that side.

the motor bike trials people will ride over what ever we build for sure, they also hold a motor bike trials copm there every year, how is that going to affect the new tracks?

I haven't seen that many people when ever i've been there....1 or 2 max!

Argh i hate it when people say that, if a kid is dumb enough to ride down a DH track before looking at it, he deserves to get hurt!

I think just some nice techy tracks would be good. A few techy drop offs, tight, twisty, off camber tracks, perfect. Wouldn't get ruined by trials riders either.

Last time I went to that side they had a few very nice techy tracks that could be resurrected. Its a lot steeper then the other side so we should be able to get some proper techy steep runs which should be fun. Building up the jumps again will be a pain, it took ages to build on the side we use now. Maybe we could ask for our bathtub back.

something nice and flowy would be awesome....there's all the space to the left of the old track too! oohhh so much to think about! Grin

There's a nice natural jump further up, just next to a tree. Not in a track, just nice to session.

Can't wait to go and sort it out, won't be around this summer, so i expect to come back to amazing techy tracks! Wink
