Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 11, 2019 Share Did Duran also help build blackhill?Mostly Reto & Vince if I remember correctly, but yes I'm sure he helped 'cos there was quite a crew involved at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perpetualmotion Posted April 11, 2019 Share Yeah, Duran and myself were probably the last guys to build/scratch around there about 4 years ago, before we started building blackhill. Still think theres loads of potential at chappies but its so sandy it makes a steepish lip or berm a hassle to maintain! I would suggest building more step down jumps, and using the steeper sections of the slope as landings (with flatter/ easier to maintain kickers) Theres also a sick slope hidden further down thats perfect for a big step down jump! Go for it dude, nobody owns those jumps, so if you can make any improvements then cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Robo Posted April 12, 2019 Share Sick Man thanks! Yeah its really sandy in places:/ More you go down the hill just gets sandier.Cool I'll Give it a go gonna have to dig around and see if theres any decent soil to fix them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perpetualmotion Posted April 14, 2019 Share Ok thanks to this thread, I went and rode Blackhill again for first time in 9 months. The main line is running absolutely mint! Big thanks to the guys that maintained the lips of the kickers (mongooser?) Forgot how rad that spot is! Also great to see that theres minimal litter, probably all overgrown, but at least no evidence of new litter or vagrants.Definitely needs a cutting back of the wattle, thats taken over everywhere outside the main line! The flow line is kinda gone, totally overgrown, but we can harvest its good dirt and grey gravel for use on the main line! For this spot to survive it needs a crew thats willing to ride and maintain it, I'm keen to put some effort in again (at least on the main line) Anyone that wants to help, hit me up!

Perpetualmotion Posted April 14, 2019 Share Ok Rad, Thanks guys. Possibly a build day, clear a few wattle back from track and ride, this coming weekend or maybe easter friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Foulkes Posted July 16, 2019 Share I rode past there on the roadie today and it actually looks like someone has done a bit of maintenance there. About a year ago I went and built by chapmans peak. As it’s all sand doesn’t hold together very well but everything was rideable mainly had to clear the path but that’s it.
