Pincher Rock Garden, 2ft rollable drop followed by 1ft drop and a bunch of tube pinchers after that.
we are finally done with Kent Ridge:
– a total of 4 new switch backs
– 2 x rock gardens
– 2 x dropoff/jump lips
– 7 x contour line trails
– 1 x bridge reroute
– 10 fallen trunks cleared
We hope that both XC and Super D ride will flow a lot better with these modifications.
The sizable turn out for the Trail Day on 2nd Oct 2010 is great! Don, Arnold, Jina joined us in a 3 hour workout, digging a crowned switchback and 30metres of contour trails for the XC exit.
here’s some photos from the week.
Pincher Rock garden before the build, note the ruts and erosion
Pincher XC line (uphill) on the left, Pincher Rock Garden soon to be on the right
Pincher XC line. 2 straights with a crowned switchback
pincher switchback, need more compaction later on
rock garden in the making, top section almost done, working on the bottom scattered rocks.
stuffing soil into the cracks, this is 3hours after we get the load of rocks in, good to work in groups of 4.
High Pitch, bench cutting
High Pitch turn, will need more work after the race to widen it.
simple bench cut for this tight trail
moonbase alpha get a rework, padded!
