The Results!

Pingu TAP Day

 It turned out to be a great day up on the mountain, with a relatively small turnout! The boys on the tools brought loads of power nonetheless! Objectives for the day were to buff the already sculptured 'Dunbar Line' from the entrance to the ladder drop, with some minor additions, and to get to work a little lower down.

We spent most of our day on the soupy log ride, that seemed that there was no planning in place when originally constructed. Three massive logs lined the trial in parallel, leaving only one small line on the high right hand side, other than forcing a sketchy slippery log ride.

Due to the nature of the position of the logs and their supports, water naturally pooled under and surrounding the logs, consequently collecting years of organic topsoil and mulch matter. Our goal was to remove the impending logs, and several boulders to build some consistency back into that section of trail. And considering it is located just following a nice flowy downhill stretch, imperative to clean up to hold any sort of speed into the next couple of corners!

And the results... Logs gone, rocks rolled away, organics relocated...

Mark giving the final delicate touch!!

Flow down to BAAAM... pump, roll, double... just play!

There's plenty of gold in them rollers too!

Dan, working hard to ensure all riders are pleased!

Dan testing roller gap distance... spot on!!

Head up and check it out and let us know what you think!

Another couple of trail days, and we should see quite the trail transformation!!

Trail Adoption Program

           After having spent a few painful winter months visualizing berms and flow, waking up with hot flushes after having tons of "those" bike dreams, we're getting out there again to caress a little more flow out of a classic Shore favourite! Pingu has seen riding legends test the limits of their necks with sweet flat huck head slaps and vert sapping rock skidders.

Head Slap?! The infamous Pingu drop.            

           Our mission is to combine the prestige and high-fiven' old skool fun, with flow and speed of new skool berms and doubles, or triples, or... well, we'll try to leave it open trail interpretation!

            The more hands and trail experience, the better! So drop down corkscrew, and come see us if you're local! We're going to need berm testers and beer holders, and everything in between!! Let's put a new face on an old timer!

When: Sunday 10th March, 2013

Where: 10am @ Old Buck parking lot, Mt Seymour

Or: Anytime until around 3.30 on the trail!
