I've heard its going to be where the old car park used to be..

[cheese]

that would be a good place for it cause teh ground seems to be packed down harder there. IMO the probelm with teh MX track there now is its like trying to ride in marshmellow!! Pity they can't dump a pile of dirt on the current MX track.

Yep that would make sense, several piles of metal sitting in the old carpark! I was hitting the 1foot table top!!

I second that. Dumping some soil on the current mx track would be a good solution. On the other hand thats going to a lot of dirt needed to cover the marshmallow. Hmmm.. "Marshmallow" seems to be a good nick name for the existing mx track. Well ! i'm looking forward to the completion of the new one.

I suggested dumping of dirt there, but apparently all the soil need to be screened.

Yeah its a pity we couldn't retain that water during summer. Come on global warming.
Imagine Woodhill with river crossings

as long as its built by mx riders not trail riders it should be good, no offense but that current "mx track" is total garbage!

I agree with that, No matter what they try, its a sorry excuse for a MX track. Compared to the MX tracks at Kimmys or even the newly done one at Fells Farm.
If they are interested in attracting more people to the sandpit, i reckon they need a good MX track.
No complains with the Enduro trails as they are good

Agreed it doesn't have jumps etc. But what the uninformed don't understand is that,
a) The majority of Woodhill is sand and to put jumps in on this location would be a major cost. Shall we put up the rider costs to $40 to cover this? Should have it paid off in 5 years.

b) We had 2 top riders plus myself make this with the area we had(I have just spent a couple of days designing a new private couse and it is mint.

c) We cannot remove trees so are stuck with what we have.

d) We get top riders practicing everyday and they (the ones who can ride) love it for fitness training. Can you do 20 mins non stop!! It was never our intention to have a top course.

The course is supposed to be for good riders. I find the average rider struggles with fitness therefore we don't want them on it.

Tottaly agree with the fitness on that track. I like to kill my self every now and then after a loop on the main tracks. 2 loops on the mx track and thats me...dead hehe. Very good for fitness building.
