Designs & Constructions

Well we have been spending some time in Victoria recently, sizing up some Jump parks and BMX race tracks that we will soon be starting. And we have also just been given the go ahead for 'The Scar' jump park @ Queanbeyan. We are really keen to do this one as we reckon it will set a new standard for legal Jump Parks in Oz. 

But the big new is Mount Annan MTB trail. We have been working on this for about 2 yrs so it was great to finally turn some soil over. We started Stage 1 & 2 six days ago. So far about 5km of trail in 6 days, which belies what all the 'experts' said we could do:). Keeping in mind this includes armoured water crossings, bridges (properly done) and full bench trail. We have also included a pump track, a flow trail (berms and rollers) and a few nasty climbing sections. Opening date will officially be in August sometime, it remains out of bounds till then ...sorry. We will post some video and photos up real soon and get the opening date out as we have it confirmed. 

Balkan & Barnesy

Geoff 'the balkan' Cartwright is still at it.... Having just finished 3 x Jump Parks in La Trobe Council, Victoria (which everyone was over the moon with).

We then moved out to Mt Annan Botannical gardens, NSW and marked out the first loop of their new XC loop, including pump track at one of the junctions in the track.

He has now jumped a flight and headed up north to Darwin where he is completing the Satellite City BMX track rebuild. With Jingili already done and now Satellite, the N.T. BMX racers are going to have some kick arse tracks to race and train on. 

Balkan then heads a bit further south to Caboolture for another BMX track rebuild.  This one will be a challenge as the area is very restricted, but we have come up with a design that we reckon is going to make this one of the best tracks in Qld. (along with Townsville and Pine Rivers :)) . 

We'll add some photos to the site as soon as we can. 

Barnesy

Geoff 'The Balkan' Cartwright is the DirtzTraxnTrailz builder. He's the guy that brings our designs and innovations to life. He lives and breaths off road bicycles and has built more tracks (BMX & 4X) than any other guy in Australia. He is the fastest and the best. 

Because of that, we have had him flying all over Oz building all types of tracks. We thought we would throw a bit of a blog on our site, so the Balkan could tell the people in Bike World where he is and what he is up to. Sort of like 'Where's Wally' but with BMX and MTB's all around him.
