dig day on the 4x track
« on: April 17, 2008, 14:37:11 PM »

sunday 27th of april, we are going to be holding a dig day on the new 4x track. If we can get enough of us, we should be able to get the track running by the end of the day

The first straight is nearly done with the just one backside and the quads to be shaped. I was up there this morning with Lewis Lacey, shaping and raking and its looking pretty good already. we reckon we need half a day with a digger to make some adjustments to certain parts of the track and from then on its raking and shaping

So on sunday we need people to bring rakes and spades to sort the rest of the track out - we will be providing food for anyone who lends a hand and we should be able to session the track by the end of the day if its dry.

we will be starting at 10.00 am on sunday and I know a few people are already thinking of camping over on the saturday night and making a weekend of it. This track is going to be the best 4x facility in the south of England, why not come down lend a hand and help shape the future of 4x in the south west

Sounds good Ben, just been up there riding (the new park Biatch Commencal 'Furious'), the track looks really good, can just get a front wheel on to the top of the first step-up, which means with a start ramp and the compacting done.....we'll be cooking!!  Grin

Jay, get us a price for a small tow-able machine for the weekend if you can mate...

All looking good for the weekend, just back from the Park and it looks as if there's been a fair bit done to the track shaping wise already. We may be short of some tools (scattered over the park probably) so bring a spade if you can, also day pass fees will be waivered for riders/workers! (that does not mean bring a spade then disappear for the day  Tongue) so come give us a hand   Grin

If the track gets finished then there's still loads more that can be done, tables and dirt jumps at the bottom need work plus we've made a start on some improvements to Dark Side, it's quite likely we'll be including the track for a race this summer, so if you want to take a hand in the shape it, get involved!



Coming soon 'DAKINE Ladder Ally' Dig day!!!   Grin

More Ladders?

Oh Yeah!  Smiley

Ride the crap out of it!......thats what needs now.

(still some changes to make with the digger but its 90%)

 

Bring an HT as well if you got one! (you can park in the field at the weekend, so 2nd bike should be safe)
