seems to be a lot of effort just for a wee drop, when you could build a trail somewhere else

dont even start with north shore, unless its private land you've got no chance,also its soo pointless the only reason it was invented was because in canada the ground in places was very difficult to build on so they built shore over it to allow the rider to get over it, and now its gone too far, it doesnt prove your skill to ride it and isnt more fun than riding dirt

so dont build it

Nah it makes a nice noise - vvvrrrrm Big Grin

Might take a peak sometime this week. But don't build shore, it'll get ripped down by the council if it doesnt get taken down by the pikeys.

If its not safe to walk it will definatly not be deemed safe by the council etc to ride.

Where is the gelly? Something smooth and flowy like smooth berms rollers and smooth gaps that doesnt look dangerous but they would still be fast and fun to ride

Hey guy's, with regard to Deuchny Woods the FC have got everything together and are waiting for the club to sign the agreement. This is going ahead in september as I was away for most of the last 2 months and Graham has also been busy with work commitments. There is one final issue that Ross brought up and that is to do with a clearing op starting this winter. Graham forwarded me a email regarding this and it looks like it is effecting our trail area. I have lot's to catch up on with Graham, and it looks like we will be fronting the fee for the club's insurance up front, we can sort it out with the members after everything is settled, based on the club's numbers looks like everyone only has to pitch in a fiver.. The bottom line is that we won, got the FC to agree to rebuild our jumps and maintain a partnership with the club. So many other user groups have not been so lucky.. I will be home now for the next few weeks if you want more info..
