Thug Posted November 20, 2008 Share Thank you Andrew & Ali for your hospitality and a great afternoon. A couple of sore and battered bodies were the result but some great singletrack, a couple of nasty little jumps (isn't that right Sonic & BB) and a great 6m high bridge that more than a few Hubbers successfully negotiated. I'm sure that the singletrack on the side of the freeway will be just as good when Geoff has finished the construction. As Arnie says.......

IanJ Posted November 20, 2008 Share Yup I agree, the new Bike Park has something for everyone and certainly some sections cannot be underestimated !!! Sonic tried to fly over one jump without a parachute and crash landed on the second jump in spectacular fashion. Not sure exactly what happened to Big Ben but his face looked a mess. Then JayS decided to climb off over his handlebars and head butt a poor defenceless tree. The helmet distributors are going to be doing a roaring trade tomorrow with crash replacements. We will certainly be back and thanks Andrew and Ali for hosting us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlek Posted November 20, 2008 Share cool sounds like a plan dobbyson and i went to the other side of the highway... but it was hectic muddy and we were not too sure where the trails were so just did a loop of the ones we saw and i was impressed they were more logwood style with loads of rolling tight turns and some pretty decent single track looks vey promising for the future i really cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
