Is this the track that JT Smooth was trying to get built or is Smoothy's at Penrith?  ???

Also has anyone got some better pics or track layout for the Carlisle Track?

Moley,

I think this is a pump/play track rather than a 'proper' track.  Chewey mentioned it at Preston - I don't think he rated it.

I didn't do much socialising at Preston.............I was too busy building Nerdbenw's bike!!!   :D

It might be worth a trip to check it out!!  :daumenhoch:

Well since I live in carlisle it would be rude not too, but beware this track is in the middle of chav city which is why it was built.

Just a thought theres an 80's track about 5 mins drive from the new pump track which you could check out as well, i'm sure it will be rough but I know its still there, the council lowered the jumps after a kid got hurt on it a few years back , I could call and see whats it like.
