You have probably scared evereyone off.
Hopefully we won't be getting type 1 surface in for the downhill run though! Something simple like a few more sizable jumps and a tidier dirt run would be a good start. |
Probably just saved people some precious hours of the lives  |

Avoid the shore improvements for the time cos i think that's where the problem lies. The club have supposedly built up better links with the FC, hence the quicker updates to the singletrack. Building a DH line could be done with cutters and spades so people can get on with it without too much hinderance.
Upsizing the dirt run should be ok too. Let them know where the soil should be put and then wait for the stuff to arrive. Shape it when its there etc... _________________

Along with updating the dirt line , maybe a dual slalom run could be added , as it would not include any shore and if built right totally rollable so anyone could use it , but you could build table tops instead of doubles and ski jumps that just run out so if you jump a foot you still land on the down ramp , this should keep everyone happy . _________________ Looking good going slow |

I like that idea. The dual at Chicky for example is awesome 'one more go' fun and would be good to include there.
Rusty has been talking about a mini DH run too (which maybe easier for starters?). If there are any more ideas let me know as need to get an email assembled asap and then get a date sorted to get up there and mark stuff out.
Cheers
