Destination Trails won a tender process to provide three new flow trails for the Kyogle MTB Club at the Kyogle MTB Park which is located on State Forests NSW land. Working with club representatives, land managers and local indigenous elders, new trail alignments were finalised. To deliver the project, Destination Trails hire a number of locals to help shape the trails.
Funny how the tough to build ideas turn out to be the most remarkable components of the trail. This bit is fun, fast and freaky because the side-slope exposure here makes the heart skip a little every time!
Found a couple of nice log jumps in the grass. They were fun before the floods. Thought we had better get them going again. Now we just need it to dry out a little more so we can hit them again! Soon!
Having a bit of fun with this new black diamond trail. Not much rock about here, but tons upon tons of hardwood. This plantation did not fare well in the drought. Many dead skeletons across the forest, so we are putting the wood to good use. Also rather than burning more fossil fuels to bring in quarried rock we thought it was a good idea to use the materials supplied by circumstances.
By modern standards its not a big drop, but this trail may be called Long Drop, because Bog Roll is just on the other side of the ridge! Maybe,..... or Log Off? 🤔 😀
This battery powered chainsaw has been working out really well for us! The best part about it is that for the last 2 months is has been charging up on off grid solar panels. So say hello to our solar powered saw!
