Thought I would share a few pictures of an awesome private slopestyle/shortcourse downhill/freeride track currently under construction on the southside of Brisbane. I would say the track is less than a third of the way done at present and already contains some sweet stuff.
Track starts with a 6ft height by 6ft gap drop from wooden ramp
...into the first of many big berms
...into a nice little hip jump
....into a couple of other big berms [no pics]...into the first double
(originally)
(has had some kick, bigger gap and longer, smoother transition added to it now)
...into a f-ck off big double (with speed check jump before it)
(the best spot for photos)
...which has now been bulldozed as the decision was made it impacted track flow and we wanted the track to go in a different physical direction...
...replaced with a switchback berm section (pics taken before recent rain and they had had the chance to be packed down)
With a couple of flood lights it also makes for great night sessions (about the only option in summer with the heat and humidity!)
At this stage the plan is another two switchback berms with a kicker into a step down hip jump out of the last which will then lead into a series of 3 big rhythmic doubles. Fun times ahead....
Updates will of course be posted as they happen...
Cheers.
