Finally, this is the SX track in the making....that big pile of dirt to the left is the main tabletop 55 foot long, the rest of the dirt is for berms and doubles....we got it mapped out, and hope to get the machine out to knock it up soon!
Hope u like our place....

lol thanks kyle.....yea thanks for the feedback guys.....we have a portable downramp with hydrolic ramp angle adjustment being built right now....and we also love daniel very, very much for his time spent in the excavator....hell he even gav me a shot...nearly ****ed it....but it was all good!! :)
the place is still under construction and is hard to work on when theres serious riding to be done, but with positive feedback from all u guys and guys like Porter, Sinclair, jeza, Robbie Adelburg n more....it makes us want to go bigger and better. Was talkin to Maddo on thursday night, hopefully he will come down for a jump with us when hes all heeled up
for all interested....our biggest ramp is 2.9m high, abit bigger then aus comp, and we have one beginner one, but all r about aus comp size.....so if u look at the ramp size verse the size of the downie....yes, they r ****in big!
ohh yea...empire compound no.2 goes under construction this week, wOOT!
