Dirt/Pump track in our village

[Peachy!]

It’s had a little opposition, but finally a small fun track is being dug in a corner of our village playing field.
Me & our Jimmy are excited, but Miss Peachy thinks it’s just another opportunity for me to embarrass her!

Are they going to surface it? otherwise it wont be long before it is cut up and unrideable, unless locals maintain it.

Not sure what they plan to do. Apart from the initial digging by one of the farmer dads the rest of the work is being done by teenage boys, the idea being they have some ownership/pride in the track and have promised to maintain it... they've got a whacker plate donated to them by the playing field association (group of parents in the village) the rest is up to them. I've got a feeling it's going to be a learning process.

Ah, that's good, i wasn't sure if it was a council project which would just be left to decay, and eventually be dug up to build bigger jumps next to it. Should be fine if the riders are actually involved in the upkeep

Had a little fun this evening after the cool kids had gone home

Looks fun. Remember to pump on the down and keep your hands away from those brakes in the corners, thats what the berms are for
