Maddix Park - NEW website - photos, footage WANTED

[ali-s]

Hi Folks,
Well it's been a while since I visited this forum - good to see it still thriving. It seems even though my last post (over a year ago!!) was about hanging up the helmet and boots and taking up pipe smoking by the fireside the gods are trying to tell me it ain't gonna happen :yes: . I land Action Sports Direct (http://www.actionsportsdirect.co.nz) as a client and am regularly confronted by loads of great bikes fresh off the boat and it's hard, real hard not to splash out and get a new bike (still kept all the riding gear :soon: he he) - anyway, latest web building project is a new site for Maddix Park (http://www.maddixpark.co.nz) - awesome - the site is still in development and will be a cool resource for the park.
So, anyone out there with some photos, stories, vids (helmet cam would be great) anything related to riding at maddix park let me know.
You can message me here, post to this thread or email : adesignweb@gmail.com : links to stuff are great and will credit any material used of course.
Cheers - AL

Done a couple of XC races here in '07. I thought the place was such a nice setting I took some sequence shots and Photoshopped them together for panorama. I have other non-action shots but these ones might be of some use, or maybe spark a design idea or something.

Did you have the Gasser 125? Coincidentally one for sale here at the moment. The universe is telling you to get another bike. Put away the pipe and slippers.

There is another Cross Country race at Maddix this weekend for those who are interested in coming along. Some will be coming to practice for the GNCC round which is at the same venue.

Check out Silver Bullet http://www.silver-bullet.co.nz/event.php?id=7131

Hi Camchain,
awesome shots mate - cheers! will put them on site this week - any more feel free to post to this thread (any one) - any subject matter really - action, scenery it's all good as I'm hoping to make the site a bit of an archive as well, to show how it has evolved (some new projects at maddix in the pipeline as well).
As civil mentions - xc race this weekend -any one going with a helmet cam ? or any one doing the gncc - I will be shooting vid and photos.
Pipe and slippers pushed firmly under bed at the mo' hehe - gasser on here looks good, read review in drd on new 2010 ec 125 last week - I've been looking at a couple of bikes recently but after you've ripped on an ec, it's hard to go back. Now, where's that big wednesday ticket I've just filled out;)
Cheers.
