its does actually look quite good, are you planning to keep on building new stuff all the time?
and could i bring my ns suburban with slick tyres and stiff forks and still ride most of it? or is it a more full suss place?

The Northshore line is being extended all the time so something new most weeks.

We are currently having a Pro DJ line built by Jim Davage and Chris Smith.

Also a group of BMX trail riders are building their own line which is looking great.

I have rode it all on my STP (Hardtail) and found it great but if you like your comfort you can ride the full suss. As for the tyres if its dry they will be awesome but the 4x may be sketchy in the wet with them.

If there are enough people on site we have an uplift service that can be provided.

If you come up on the 2nd May its free so cant get any better than that!

Here's my flickr page with various photos of the track at different stages of the redevelopment. It should give a reasonable idea of what the track is like until Tufty uploads a helmet cam vid. That or just come down and ride it.

Chris Roberts Mr 4X brings the Gates.

The first straight is Grassy but through the summer we are hoping to spray it to clear all the Grass on the track.

With more use, especially down the edges, it will wear away anyway...

Yeah, we have the spray pack and will go over the whole track and verges after the Easter break. By the summer it'll all be dirt and fast.
