I'm still not convinced.

Mr Jones, you were correct... nice big jump out the first berm.

First and second straights are looking like big fun

Are you convinced yet Bren

ron burgundy · « **Reply #1432 on:** October 06, 2012, 08:11 PM »

I'll let you know when it's finished

that first bumpy thing on 2nd straight looks bang on

challenge to get right over but should be easy for little'uns to hop on top, bit like a fat jimmy saville

In the immortal words of Bill and Ted, I got a fully on Robot chubby over that first out the first turn

Massive...

Work on the third straight has started but it looks up hill, second looks great, the jump at the end of first straight is big, maybe too big.

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #1442 on:** October 13, 2012, 05:20 PM »

lookin at the pics, if the back side of the 1st double is big enough maybe speed can be attained from that, but i worry about the amount of earth for the roller between that n the last jump, if its too big them its gonna sap speed, a token roller of preston proportions should be the order of the day. does the last on the 1st empty into the rim of first berm?

(opinion based on pics). looking fantastic tho

ron burgundy · « **Reply #1443 on:** October 13, 2012, 08:15 PM »

Daz, it's fookin huge. As a guess 30ft x 10ft straight into the berm. 47x16 gearing is on order

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #1444 on:** October 13, 2012, 09:23 PM »

spoke to someone else earlier n they think the roller is gonna ruin it if its too big

track meeting 5.30 tomorrow at the track

i cant make it tho as its wor lasses birthday (i didnt forget, just didnt remember

)

my thoughts are a prestonesque roller to maintain speed for last jump, all else looks tickety boo from pics

I have a genuine uncontrollable boner about riding this track.

Always loved H-pool track as it was due to the layout, the area and the locals and keen to try out this new layout.

47x16 gearing is on order

I used that gearing in my first race at Bradford when it snowed.

I fell off at the end of the 1st straight and then caught Greg up on the last straight.
