Hi *DIRT*, welcome to the site.. :) You've got balls, I dunno if I would hit those ramps.. The last one maybe, it looks solid but I dunno it still sketchy looking! No offence intended... :)

Yep, my mate and some friends made the ramp with plans out of Freerider magazine (Australian Mag) I'm not sure of the specs but I'm told it's a normal X-games/Comp spec ramp... You can also get free plans for a rev.1 ramp from http://www.fmxramps.com :)

All this goes on two downramps, and the ramps are actually part of my mx practice track!! i'll try and get some pics soon, .... dont get to ride it that often though ... its three hours away from my house so that sucks but what can ya do?

Sand eh, that should be interesting to ride on all the time. But nice lookin area man, reminds me of NZ. just lack's the sheep hehe.
intense fmx 03
14th May 2003, 12:41 AM
i think i know what ya mean...like coz it is sand and the sand will rut up alot??
Mungoman45
14th May 2003, 12:46 AM
Yup, exactly Rhys, Sand would have to be the worst thing to try and keep up to in maintenance. Cause i wouldn't think Watering it and rolling it would do much good.

I herby proclaim that i am moving to wa. lol
that is sic., very sic.
hardkau
15th May 2003, 01:51 AM
thanks for the compliments doods. i've spent countless hours out there workin on it, it's my pride and joy lol.
and yeh being all sand, maintenence is fairly big, it chops up hell quick. but i don't mind, most ofl the motocross race tracks in the southwest are all reasonably sandy, so its good practise. besides, i love riding in sand, i'd take sand over hardpack anyday :)
pro-x
15th May 2003, 11:23 AM
yeah i always hated sand but i recently worked out im a better sand rider. its fun to ride. exspecially when u got a track like that.
one thing that sucks is all the hours buildin tracks but its worth it,

20th September 2003, 11:46 PM
Sand is fun except when its deep as crap cos one time i did a donut in some deep choppy sand and just started sinking.

if you are a racer, its good to have a hometrack with sand. if you can race on sand, you can race anywhere.

so true... if you can ride sand then your pretty much garanteed (sp) that you can ride anything else... but if you can only ride hardpack, then once you get into the sand, you grovel. I prefer hardpack... but I can ride sand.
And you dudes over east dont know what sand is lol. Come over to WA and check out some of our tracks if you wanna know what a sand track looks like hehe
