Title: Dagenham track - new pics today!
Post by: Rooonga on September 23, 2005, 07:57 PM
Hi again everyone,

My poxy camera batteries ran out taking the 1st picture! So I had to take them with my phone.

I apologise for the quality of the pictures:

Starthill - now up to very nearly full size. I have put bike in foreground to show the size.

1st Jump:

2nd Jump:

Doubles between 1st and second berm. (this was massive, and way way too big!)

The next jump is a double (will have a little more removed from the middle):

Followed by step up double:

Next - THE BIGGY!!! Had to take 2 photos to get it right! (Also had to move right back!)

Finally I got a pic of the rhythm section to show the distance between the jumps - now much better. (I have asked the track builders to dig out in between the jumps to make them better.)

You have seen the rest so I wont post them all again.

Excellent.  You get a far better idea on the size of the track with your bike there.

haha the invisible rider!

its a big meaty track, well done mate

that big one is fat, the take off looks a bit mellow, i guess its still early stages

i reckon you should name some of the jumps like the old days, what about Jordan for the big doubles!
