So This Is The Plan.

Okay so as most of you know the NZDJO is coming up at the end of April. We still have two more Monster Energy Night Jams left and in this time the jumps are going to get quite abit of use.
You all know that dirt jumps need quite abit of upkeep and maitenence. So over the next 6 weeks Haydn and Myself (Tim Hunter) will be making a few needed tweaks to the jumps. Some areas will be getting more work than others, so as we work on them we will be taping off the area that we are working in. We just ask that everyone respects the taped off sections of the course. This way the work we are doing will hold up untill the Open, then we wont have too much work to do before the Open. Sweeet.
So onto a few of the changes and tweaks that are going to made. Some of you may have seen the last double after the wallride. Its getting beefed up. We have added to the takeoff and given it a little more length and we have added to the landing. Its got a new knuckle and we have made it wider on both sides.
The first double landing is going to get made wider, so that bangers can be thrown down with no fear of riding off the side or missing backside.
The second double is going to get abit of a makeover. Alot of people are finding that they are over shooting it and landing too deep. Not all of us have natural boost like Nick Dethridge so we are are gonna pack the the takeoff out a little bit, give it a little more length, so you go strait up and not go out so far. In doing this, we are also gonna give the landing a new knuckle and pack out the landing abit more.
There will be alot more things going on around the Airfield over the next six weeks so we just ask that you repect the areas that are being worked on and stay off them untill the tape comes down. The Monster Line is OPEN but only to those who can do it and know they can do it, and only if Park Staff are there at the shelter. We want you boys to tarin and ride as much as you can before the Open but we also want it looking and running mint.
Also one last thing. If anyone has spare time to volunteer to some digging and helping out over the next 6 weeks we would really really appreciate the help. The more hands we have the more we can get done. If you want, you can flick me an email and i'll send through some dates of the days we will be digging. th_ragdoll@hotmail.com
Thanks heaps guys, Ride Hard.
