Last friday we had the Bobcat arrive. Carl Sorenson from Sorenson Earthworks was definitly the man for the job. With a history in building MotoX tracks he had a good eye and the right equiptment to get the job done. Over the last month or so, Haydn has been sketching over A4 photos to get some realistic vision going on, and to life it has now become.
We are adding a new drop line to the start of the main line. The roll in landing has been made wider and this now runs into a new takeoff, which is a bigger gap than the previous 1st takeoff. The landing of the 1st has been widened by about another meter and abit to the left. The 1st landing has also been buffed up abit, and looks really steep at the moment, but this will pack down and will be alot nicer to ride.
So now that the first is alot wider you will be able to transfer your lines left to right or vice versa. Wicked. The second takeoff has been made wider by a whole new takeoff and the wooden ramp has been pulled out. The second landing hasnt changed but got a nice covering of dirt.
The third has had the takeoff buffed up. It had become really flat and had no pop left in it, so we have raised it slightly and given the face a slab of beef. This will shoot you niceley into the 3rd landing which has also been made stepper to compensate for the extra pop. No photos of the third landing yet, but its BOSS as.
So off the 3rd you can go three ways. down the side shoot the landing off the step down only really worked for the big drop off the top. This landing has been made about a meter wider each side and is now massive. This landing will work really well for those that like to hip left to the berm, and if your coming off the big drop, there is no way your gonna miss it now.
Off the third also you can break right and shoot off down the Monster Line. The Monster Step Down and Monter Double landings both got new dirt. Alot of new dirt. This line is prime and massive things are gonna go down this summer. Cant wait.
Other additions include a new landing on the double behind the wallride. People were over jumping this, so hopefully we have got it right and no more over jumping. the backs of the concrete tunnels have had more dirt shaped into them. The Intermediate line has been buffed and will now hold better flow (well i reckon anyways). and the horrible Grom line is gone and has been replaced with what resembles a small rythms section from a MotoX track. They ride awesome.
So i reckon for 2 1/2 days Haydn and Carl have done an amazing job. All the hard work is done. Now all we have to do is pack them in and clean up, then ride them in. they will be closed for a little bit longer but it will all be worth it.
So so happy, haha.
