The Red on the opposite side of the road to the car park has been down for a while for maintenance. Anyway, it is finished but is a bit more “jumpy” than previous, so go slow on your first run boys and girls.
I have to say that some of the new features are a little perplexing as there is a jump that propels you between the fence posts where the cattle grids are, and another that puts you into the face of a berm.
All good fun and that, but don’t treat it like you did the old one as this has more and bigger teeth, as some poor sod found out last Monday.
It's got proper jumps not like the old Micky Mouse ones that got smaller rather than longer as the set progressed. You can still roll it all and there are alternate lines and less kicky lips on some of the jumps. The last jump of the set you can almost get up into the trees if you give it some! There's a fair sized transfer gap, where the crap rock garden used to be, out of my league for now.
The new surface (much finer grade) looks like it will need more maintenance to me. The last one hardly got any, most people couldn't even be arsed to clear the drain channels out!
BTW not me in the video
Air Ambulance will have it as a favourite on their sat nav.
Yup unfortunately you get blokes old enough to know better, brash and full of bravado, who have bright ideas and end up flat on their faces! Not to mention when Rufus and Noah "Mummies little angles" show up and break their arms, then Mummy takes photo's and complains to the council.
Ah, been looking forward to giving this a go since I heard it was being updated by the folks from Dirt Factory.
Thanks for the heads up 😁
A plague of Sur-Ron ****s have ****ed most of it up.
Yeah, it isn't holding up very well.
They have been spinning up the wheels on the tops and edges of the jumps, doing donuts on top of jumps to turnaround, smashing into wet parts of the track and powering out making big holes bikes without motors can't do. Not to mention dragging up thick claggy mud from the surrounding woods and edges of the track onto the hardpack to **** it even more.
