Anyone racing Sunday in need of a Leatt? Have one for sale on here and could bring it with if there's any takers.

Took a wander round today (without bike) just to see what the place is like nowadays. Have to say it looks fantastic and I like the new line over the DH side. Think I will be going back tomorrow with my bike!

woburn is entirely run/built by volunteers but you have to make use of them, digging in sand is easy and you can get plenty done in not much time

chicksands has to have things okay'd by the forestry commission, i believe woburn is able to dig whatever they like as long as its within the boundaries and its within reason etc..

Chicksands and Woburn aren't really comparable when it comes to building, Aston Hill has the sort of model that Chicksands should be aspiring to IMO

progress has been made!

new dirt jumps being added!

the proline has had a new take off added and soon a new landing, so will be an 8 pack, the existing jumps will be revamped too.

The 4x has had some work with a big 180 berm being completely resurfaced and the logs taken out higher up the track to make it more friendly!

Also the beginner pump track has been dug and just needs finishing
