[eloopnai]

[bmxmatt1974]

thats looking a good track 

[20to26]

 

is that track open to all 24/7? Looks like it's worth the drive...

[Gary72]

Yep, open all the time, next door to the equestian centre, you cant actually see the track from the road.
I cant see the pics at work, will have to have a look when I get home.

now that is looking the bollax.  I was going to go to Daggers on Saturday, but I think it might be worth checking out the new layout at Braintree.  It looks like they have put down a proper surface at last as well

[BMXpert]

We worked our knackers off for 3 days, but it was well worth it.
Surface is mint, needs rolling again already, but we'll let it bed in for a couple of weeks then have another little tart up.
Got plans for the 2nd straight as well, Top Secret mind
Gate practice Wednesdays from 6 for a quid, then Summer racing from May 7th. Tracks open 365 24/7 though so come and have a play.

Table top is at the end of the 1st straight. We filled in the double, added a bit more on top and cut the face off to steepen it up, its the best for practicing your tricks (or sketchy 1 hand 1 footers in ya lunch break  )

What you want us to risk our lives for a £1 

Can that step up be cleared completly or do you need to ride the first bit ?

Looks remarkably like the one at Herne Bay.  Wherever did Jools get the idea from??  Just hit it hard and fast Bill and .......... fly.  Humps

Not risk ya life, just crash ya brains out for my photo album 
As for the step up, its best to pick up and roll the 1st bit then jump the double, hit the landing, over the roller then sprint to the table.
Its 23ft6 from the 1st step to the double, the double is 17ft6 to clear. If anyone jumps the whole thing, again Ill give them that shiny quid   

[martin1970]

Straight out the top draw, very nice. Looks like I'm gonna have to practice my jumping (a bit more)

I want a make over at daggers now.

So would we get 50p if we try and fail, or just the ambulance ride

Cheers for the props guys, but all the props must go to the whole team over the weekend, was a hell of a site seeing yoofs pushing wheelbarrows full of surface for hours on end
Dunno about when for the 2nd straight, will probably be just an overhaul first, then a proper dig when the plans get drawn up. Back to watching transit and ama sx vids then, its hardwork this design malarkey.

[BMXpert]

Couple of vids before the surface went down.

[BMXpert]

We had a go at the 2nd straight Saturday.
Nice little double out of 1st corner, reshaped step up, step up triple, into big double into 2nd corner.
Rides pretty well straight off, come and play.
