The Weekly Roundup 🚧🔥

Another big week on the tools, with crews pushing through weather, moving dirt, and bringing more facilities to life across the country.

📍 Anzac Park, QLD
Preparations for the wall ride have begun and the shapes just keep getting better. The team is getting close to testing, and we’re excited to see this one start to ride as good as it looks 👀

📍 Geelong MTB Park, VIC
Asphalt is down, paint is complete, and landscaping is now underway. We’re aiming to have this one wrapped up in the next week or so.

A huge thank you to everyone who has respected the site fencing and stayed out while we finish construction. Unfortunately, unauthorised access continues to delay progress and creates additional work for the team. Please give us a little more time to finish the job properly, the sooner we can complete the final works, the sooner we can open the facility for everyone to enjoy 💥

📍 Glenfield Bike Park, NSW
Sandstone walls, fresh shapes, and a few weather challenges along the way. Despite the conditions, the team is doing an incredible job and this massive facility is continuing to take shape 👊

📍 Kanbyugal Trails, NSW
More trails completed and more trails on the way. The climbs are done, which means the fun stuff isn’t far behind. This network is getting better every week 🌿

📍 Flyway, Hobart, TAS
The crew has been battling the Tassie weather but continues to make great progress. Drainage works are complete and road base installation is now underway. One step closer to riding 🔥

📍 Curry’s Gap Trails, NSW
The team has landed on site and is busy preparing equipment and setting up for construction. We’re excited to get stuck into this one and can’t wait to share the progress as the project gets underway 🌲

The Weekly Roundup 🚧🔥

Another big week on the tools, with crews making solid progress across the country.

📍 Anzac Park, QLD
The team has been working hard on this one. The shapes are starting to come to life and the facility is beginning to show its potential. We’ve got a feeling this one is going to be a favourite 👀

📍 Geelong MTB Park, VIC
Asphalt is complete! Massive effort from the crew to get this project to the next stage. We’re excited to see the final touches come together.

Unfortunately, some eager locals have been accessing the site before completion, which has delayed opening while we carry out repairs and clean-up works. We ask everyone to please stay out just a little longer. Giving us the space to finish properly will help get this facility open and ready for everyone sooner 💥

📍 Glenfield Bike Park, NSW
The team has started shaping, with bulk works continuing across this massive facility. Every week it gets easier to picture just how epic this one is going to be 👊

📍 Kanbyugal Trails, NSW
The crew has been pushing through, shaping and refining trails that’ll create an incredible space for riders of all ages. Massive congratulations to Connor M for completing one of the trails this week… onto the next one 🌿

📍 Flyway, Hobart, TAS
The crew has broken ground and commenced site preparations for a new pump track coming soon. Exciting times ahead for the local riding community 🔥
