Yeah, some very nice photos there. Looks like a great meeting and a very nice track. The track is very similar to one we used to have over here on the South Coast - Coopers Gully. Love that sort of thing - nice natural surface, elevation changes, some great switchbacks. Beeyootiful.

I can see why the chopper is at the bottom of the hill - some serious elevation change there!

[Freakshow]

yep i cant understand why more racers arent on scramble tracks.   Its the only way to be pre 75 freindly in any weather.

Pete check your PM ol son.

You can not beat natural terrain tracks , Brilliant love to have the opportunity to ride that scramble track ( man made tracks suck.

[DR Fan]

Over 130 riders to this meeting with over 200 bikes entered into classes. WOW!!! what a day!!!
PS.... helicopter wasn't required ( thank goodness )

The track looks fantastic where in NZ is it?

[DJRacing]

The Track was just a couple of K's north of Levin in the north Island. This track was used in the '70s and '80s and brought to life again by the local vmx guys, (it has alot of history). The whole communitity got behind it and the event ran like clockwork.
