Well - got there and had forgotten my pump and my tryes were too flat to ride - no one had a pump! Hey ho. Ended up spending 4 hours digging some dirt jumps with a group of 16 year olds - surprisingly good fun! The 4x looks really good - a lot more features in it than chickie, the same with the dual which I think is better than chickie, the jump line looks great and some of the dirt jumps are epic. The line we were building is more of a beginner / intermediate and looks really nice (i.e better for me). Definitely a place to have a lot of fun on a hardtail / jump bike but would still be fun on a full susser. A lot of the guys were riding BMX so dust it off in the shed Jon and bring it out to play! Also there are a few drop offs to steep around the edge of the quarry - real sandy soil. I reckon on taking the DH bike and cutting a few hucks in there. Its the sort of place where you get chatting to the guys - spot a potential line and they would probabaly drive the digger over to build it there and then. They have a 4x comp this weekend - looks pretty laid back - am going to go will post seperately. Nigel |

Even more reason for me to get a Htail sorted dammm youuuuuUUU. Nice write up mate - do you think it will make for a good winter riding spot with all that sand? Loving the idea of building our own lines. |
