Title: Hartlepool 4th straight rebuild pics
Post by: Eddy on November 29, 2008, 05:12 PM: FAO anyone who is interested about things up at Hartlepool, here's twenty pictures of our new rythm section. We built it in one day at a cost of a couple of hundred quid and a fair bit of graft. For anyone who has rode the track before, we have lengthened and leveled the 4th straight, changing everything from the first table top onwards. Its hard to pick out in the pics but basically the rythm is a table to double to roller to table to roller to hipped step up. We didn't have a rythm before and folk have said its what we were missing, so now we do!

Coming soon, the death pack on the second straight...watch this space!

Post by: Eddy on December 01, 2008, 07:32 AM: You should thank yourself lucky you still live in Hartlepool! I had to watch this getting built then drive back to Manchester without even riding it!

I think its safe to say we have one brand new straight and one brand new burm. Well done to all who braved another frozen day in Hartlepool to hear Mr Butterfield bark orders from a dumper truck! As with the previous pics, its a bit tricky to gauge exactly what has been done. Basically today we finished the rythm off with a double then sorted levels out and made a new burm. We also changed the first double on the 5th straight into a step-up tripple, should be a good little learner jump. Next on the cards is the issue of spectating, we hope to open up a large area at the bottom of the track by changing the fence arrangement and moving the entry gate. All being well we should be in a position to host some decent events next season! I had to bail before the guys finished (much to the annoyance of a cetain gentleman) so there isn't any pics of the finished articles, will get some soon!

In this shot, Jack pulls the whacker over the end double. Basically it was built so that (if you want) you can jump the tabletop (to the left of the pic) and roller then hit the double what jack is stood on

Looking over the end double, this go slightly lengthened so that folk who double up the table and roller don't over shoot it

Ste stood on top of the new tripple, where he is stood was the original ground level

If you look from the side it makes a bit more sense!

Post by: Dex Dexter on December 02, 2008, 07:20 AM: The track is looking class!
I think I'll be visiting a lot next year - my family will wonder if I've gone all soft wanting to travel up and see them.
Little do they know...
Happy to offer a hand on Sat for half a day if the works are still ongoing (I wish I could offer more but BMX related rows are at a peak right now in my house).
