melbourne dirt jumpers

[spoked wheel freak]

hey guys i was just wondering if there is anyone in the eastern suburbs that jumps? im in emerald and there is pretty much no one that rides and i am wanting someone to dig/ride with. i have a bit of space at home for jumps but am more than happy to help others with their tracks. cheers

i live in selby and am making a dh/dj track it's sort of downhillish but with a couple of dj and drops

wow im in that area too,
but im not much of a dirt jumper
i give it a go now and then but i aint no good
more into downhill and xc

 

[spoked wheel freak]

sweet as, i reckon it would be cool to have a couple of us that ride/dig, it's so hard finding anyone that rides in the area i reckon

If you guys are serious about building somewhere there is a whole area at Lysterfield lake park that has been set aside for jumps. We have the dirt, we have the land, we have permission, we just need some designs and some guys who want to take responsibility for building them.

Mate im pretty sure cockatoo is out your way. Get down there with a shovel...

 

[spoked wheel freak]

that place at lysterfield sounds pretty sweet. where abouts in cockatoo are those jumps do you know?

cockatoo jumps have been a bit damaged by a fallen tree, nothing a chainsaw couple of guys and shovels couldn't fix but I hear some locals on mx just screw the jumps anyways ....

lyterfield sounds awesome, i'll try and draw up some crappy sketches of some jumps. If the angles are wrong and the gaps don't make sense just check me up on it. And how big is the area set aside? The problem with lysterfeild is it's a bit of a way to ride with a shovel in your backpack.

cool all help is appreciated remember its close to the car park so its likely that you are going to get all sorts getting down there. we have to make sure there is something for everyone.

Also Ozmanik and anybody else for that matter if you want to help out we are meeting down at the new dam wall track this wednesday about 6-6:30 ish to finish that track. You can talk to Andrew about the dirt jumps and what needs to be done etc

is the dam wall track the one that's blocked off and has two berms along it. I went to lysterfield today and saw it, and also when did the two berms on the single track near trailmix get put up, the rock one is AWESOME couldn't help but ride it a few times.
