Nasty crash, looks like a great track in a nice field, but needs to be designed better from the start, who designed the track layout needs to rethink it, track is to narrow or going by the video it looks to narrow, plus the main straight is to short, plus you done need to have  a narrow drop  off (Jump)as your first corner, needs to be changed. Make it safe for your riders.

Marc the video and photos dont do it justice it is a big drop  :)
Mate im envious you got to ride it in the day  ;D It was all over there before i fled the mothership so i missed out first time rd .

Hey Bill, my Uncle had the garage next to the bowling green in Ohope for years and I went to high school at Trident for a couple of years. It was the good old days when the school swimming sports were held in the Whakatane river, the current was that strong the finish line was 100m down stream and the teachers used to pick up the kids who got swept away in a jet boat ;D ;D

Back to the track, you are right very much part of NZ MX history .... arguably the most famous MX track in NZ, lotta big meetings were held there. Pure grass natural terrain MX marked out of the day with Yellow alkathine stakes and ropes on the corners.

Rode that track when it was part of the Xmas circuit . You are both wrong Mangere mountain was the best. But then again it was north of the Bombay ... does that count  ;)
