As bad as this may seem, it could be a good thing. The current location of the jumps is completely shaded throughout the winter months, and the jumps have to close because of frost. We have jumps in Wanaka (only 50 min drive from QT) that are open year round as the location allows for sunlight and it's enclosed within a small lot of pines. I remember when they had to move the jumps from Fern Hill, the bike club (and Nathan) were not happy with the Gorge Road location because of the frost. Hopefully with some good planning, they can rebuild them again, better (if thats possible!!), and in a location that allows them to be open year round. I do totally agree with the Council being shortsighted in what this asset is, and taking public spaces from the public for a bit of quick profit. Fingers crossed for a good result.
