Sorry, but if they think getting sued for damages was bad, how do they think its going to be when people sue the for false advertising. Theres NO WAY they can call that a downhill track. The stuff they had before was okay, not great, but okay. And then they put this here. Its not even dissapointing, i'd be able to make the most of a wasted trip if it was just dissapointing. This is insulting. Its a discredit for that to be classed as downhill.

All the northshore is gone. In its place is this little girly track that might as well be lined with flowers.

Was looking forward to seeing what they'd done when back at uni in notts, but by from what ive seen and heard I think they've killed it off

Gotta agree, pines has gone down hill big time.
There seems to be no sence in the design of the DH runs, whats with all the rocks???

At least the origal runs had some variety, a few drops, jumps, the odd tree stump.

Oh well about time we went and made our own stuff seeing as its shit. Fish ruined it to be honest when he first started building. Yeah he had ideas but couldnt put them on that sort of land, needed to use the small slop to the biggest advantage possible rather than building stuff that you lose momentum over.

I think the best way to make it accessible would be a dual with no shore just rollers, little kickers, tabletops and stuff

People have started making a track to the left, where the two-rock step use to be, there's a one and half? foot drop gap, then it leads off into some corners, didn't realy look at it much, i did however decide to stop going to the pines.
This is because if i want to do xc and get covered in shit i can do this in Pleasley, Tevasel & Woodhouse. If i want to do more dh i'll start going to Caudwel and help build up some tracks.

Me and a few mates cleared a dirt trail off to the left the other weekend, its got a small kicker then a few bomb holes and a tight twisted single track bit towards the bottom.
Its not ideal but its ok for a few runs.
