The Poster looks a bit like this one -


Bit of a speil -

The Track is affectionately named 'Un-natural' selection due to its high demanding layout.
This track rivals that of the famous A-Line, and boasts 40 doubles/step downs in a stretch of berms and is the creation of Rob Potter - who has featured a couple of times in [R]evolution for his track building expertise.
The track offers something a little different to the traditional Downhill race, and as mentioned is a hell of a lot closer than traveling 8 thousand miles to get to something similar......

an example -












Its a good excuse to come to Launny for a great weekend!

Oh yeah! It's the week before exams, but I can't wait!

However, a few questions.

Firstly, you say we must pay $5 to the LMBC and have a year licence. Is that just a standard AMTB licence or an LMBC licence as well?

Second, how do we pay this? Do we pay it to you guys on Saturday, or send a check to Rob?

Third, do we have to pay $5 on both days, or just the saturday when costs are covered by the race fee?

See you guys up there!

[Ceng]

$5 covers riding* on a day you otherwise wouldn't be able to ride at Wyena.
The $5 is payable to LMBC - in cash, on that day

As per every other race you have been to, you pay an entry fee on the day, and thats it* - you ride and have some fun

*As per any other event ever run by Dirt Devils/LMBC - you need a license to join in on the fun - you have two options - day or year

If you ride Saturday - and choose a day licence, and if you ride Sunday and choose a day license - you will have to pay 2 x $15
(as Saturday & Sunday are not the same day as each other [they are separated by nightfall ])

To my recollection Adam - you have a year license - so you pay $5 on Saturday & $20 on Sunday.
Hope this helps, my appologies if I wasnt to clear in the initial post

Ok - Rob + Ben + 1.5 t excavator = track in amazing condition (as long as the motor bikes stay away for a week).

There are some very nice, manicured jumps, lips, berms AND

LOTS AND LOTS of B lines - so fun for every one - we have incorporated B lines through the majority of jumps - so if you like to keep your wheels on the ground - you can.

We have made the larger jumps better - better take offs and longer landings.

I will post some photos up tomorrow (when we have finished work on the track)

8 hours of prime excavator / good ol shovel work so far.

See you all next week end.

awesome, thanks anthony.

fuck me an excavator who used that bad ass. i'll be down there for sure

[Ben Oz]

Ok - so after 15 + hours of excavator work and shovel work by Rob and my self, the track has had a make over - the majority of the jumps have been re-shaped, there are B lines (cut outs near the jumps - see the photos below). So the track will cater for all abilities next weekend.

This track is in very good condition - the trees are now providing a good level of protection from the wind. - shes all grown up.

Have a look:

[Aaron]

Wow, looks better than ever. Cheers Rob and Ben!

[Jervis.G]

The beautiful greenery, perfectly shaped jumps, amazing area. And uncle robby

Great photo! haa.

You've done a great job guys! I'll try and make it out there for the race, give my support in any way I can. Most likely yelling profanities at the racers about having massive suspension and gears. "Get a HT and single speed up ya!" - for example *smiles* ...

[RobS]

Hi

I am coming down for the weekend but dont arrive in Launceston until midday Saturday. I see that practice is only until 2pm. If i rock up about 2 will it be possible to walk the track? Also will there be signage indicating where to turn off or can someone advise me the adress so i can check the map.

Thanks
Rob

[Ceng]

Walking the track wont be an issue,
depending on numbers, we may push out the alloted time...

Signage will be out for the day, so should be able to find it.
It doesnt really have an actual address, its on GUNN's property

[rob p]

Fluck yeah.
Everyone come yes.
Many bouncy jumps style.
Whoooo!



And easy as b-lines! For kane.

[Ben Oz]

I will run the ride day until 3.30 pm if the numbers are there - bargain.
