Can do Either, Rod can only do tonight ...

Is it weather permitting or are ye's going for a wet wet run ?

[Big Dave]

As for tonght, say quarter to seven? My Mrs might come for a spin also.

[blacky40]

I'll let ye know sure ;)

[Gilkie]

Have Fun! I'm home from work drenched and can't be arsed gettin soaked again!!

[SteveSpesh]

Yo guys, gonna give the big drop a bit of an mot so was thinking of building the main part at home and taking it up so, this is gonna sound silly but I need someone to measure the length and width of the take off part. The lander isnt in great shape either but we can work on it up there.

I think Ill just have enough timber and nails to do the job but donations are welcome

[Big Dave]

Consider it done! (If I remember)

[Gilkie]

U luv steve!! Lol

[Big Dave]

Its 1.5m x 3m almost exactly. I even took a tape with me! Dont be afraid to raise it all/some of it by a few feet/inches.

[SteveSpesh]

Good man yourself.

Got all the materials ready, Ill make the frame and well just use the treads that are already there. Will need a hand getting the frame up there though.

Had already thought about splitting it and making a double take off. One side higher than the other and separate landers. Have tweaked the design and deemed it possible to add the lunar launch ramp as a retrofit. lol

[Big Dave]

That's what I was thinkin too man, like a wee raised bit to the inside, say a foot higher and two foot wide.

I can be about any day but saturday!

[blacky40]

Sounds Awesome !! New Bike is looking very meek atm :(

I can help if needs be!

[Ozzy]

Might be able to get up Thursday after work if you need a hand or need anything done, was going for a mess on the stream anyway.

[miniator]

Whos out tonight!? What time?!

[blacky40]

I might be, depends on weather, if dad lets me take the stuntjumper out then i might cuz i couldnt be bothered with the hardtail

[blacky40]

Troy Lee himself is currently in my office ...Leathal!!!!!!!

*SPAMMMM**

[Gilkie]

I'm about thursday aswell if you need a lift

[SteveSpesh]

Sorry guys thursday is a no go for me. Have to work every evening and Saturday on a wee homer.

Will get the stuff done up this week and get er sorted early next week so hopefully someone be able to give us a carry up then.

Anyone got any round fencing posts for the uprights?

[SteveSpesh]

OK change of plan, thursday is go. I wont have time to make the frame at home but ill bring all the stuff up.

Any one able to help with the uprights?

[Ozzy]

Only got one 4x4 post so not much use. Will be up and give you a hand to carry and build.

Be up at 6pm or so.

[SteveSpesh]

Respeck man, will aim to be there round six too.

Any other possible joiners out there?

[Big Dave]

I would man, but i'm away from about half seven. If you're about friday night I should be available.

[blacky40]

Am not too sure i've a website to build and i really need to get it sorted rather soon been put under preasure lol , but id love to come up, i'll have too see, ive got new software last nite so if it doesnt work i'll be up lol i've a few bits and pieces in the shuck behind the gates, and thers a wee pile of nails up in trail too, dont know if i told where they were at?

[SteveSpesh]

What a nights building lads, wee pat on the back.

The stream trail is crying out for a wee bit of work, dig out the rough bits and mot the rotten jumps.It wouldnt take much if there were a few extra men.

What about organising a night next week, rebuild the lander for the big drop and maybe steady up some of the boardwalk?

Dave you will be glad to hear that the big drop is now about six inches higher than before, you still have to be as mad as a microwave full of frogs to do it but Ozzy christened her in style.

[Legionare2009]

do people still meet in Davagh on saturday mornings at 10 am?
just bought a bike and want to chritener there or cave hill.

[SteveSpesh]

Not sure whos about in the morning but im sure someone will be.

Im heading out tomorrow evening at some stage if you want the guided tour.

[Legionare2009]

thats great, ill let you know, i will be around cookstown anyway just hope i casn make time in the evening.

[Ozzy]

Stream trail middle drop alot safer now, super sturdy, good job Steve, landing over big tree needs dropping a bit, but all safe for everyone now. Good flow down the trail 90% way down but lower part needs spicing up a bit somehow, ithat 90degree left hander just ruins the flow, in my humble opinion. Maybe I am just lazy and dont like to pedal too much!!!

[Gilkie]

Yeah hit the now bigger drop and left half the skin of my right leg in the chicken wire on the lander ramp! Feck just can't master my landing! Frustrating! But hey practice makes perfect eh?

[SteveSpesh]

Raging man, chicken wire = cheese grater.

I should be about at the gates half four or five if anyones about.

Im thinking a big long session on the stream.

[Legionare2009]

i should be there around that time.

after todays slip sliding fun, i think we might need some chicken wire on the left hand drop-off, lost the rear wheel a couple of times as I hit it too fast, went slow and then nearly didn't make the landing!

[SteveSpesh]

Well have to look into that. Anyone got chicken wire?

Thats a sweet wee drop though, the lander gave me the confidence to do it, now Im clearing the whole thing and landing on the ground. Really need to sort the run in, some gravel would be a proper job.

[ColB]

i don't mind the run-in, the sketchiness of it makes it a bit more fun, it's just once I hit the greasy wood, the back decided to head right :)
