yo boi,
nothing much happening for me at the mo, but riding heaps!!! which is awesome, keeps me busy, on road, off road, yeah! hopefully i'll be more confident soon to hit some jumps like last xmas! having fun anyway on da single speed and summer's finally here.
good to see u guys are all having fun (despite the crazy weather).
take care and post some mo pics lol

hey man, that trail in chile looks sick. you working iwht a guy called hayden on that? i met him in france and remember him saying that hes going to be doing some trail building in chile. Steve

Conditions and soil looks nice in the first vid. Nice use of commercial timber too. Did you improvise the structures on site or do some planning and drawing beforehand?
The stuff I'm working on at the moment is experimental: partially I'm testing some ideas in practice the I have put together as code for a CAD software, and partially I'm keeping track of and compiling data on build-times from only materials found on site (i.e. only lumber cut on site).

wow thats crazy... you were brought all the way from NZ just to build a private track? thats nuts... o well im not gonna be annoying and ask too many questions then if its rather on the downlow but it was worth a try... anyway my email is nicholas_leontic92@hotmail.com, and i dunno if you could maybe give me the email of the owner or slip mine to him ahhaha... id be happy to go work there as a summer job or something just to get to ride that a few times... i dunno if thats possible
thanks for that bro
hope you guys enjoy any time you spend here... and ure always welcome to hit me up if you wanna ride in santiago

actaually
im completely dumbfounded by that track.... first ive ever seen of it and i dont see how that even exists here... i dunno if you would wanna share any info on it,maybe we can get a session going sometime...im down for digging as well anytime! that place is like a dream come true! i have my own track down south as welll but not like that! well yea just a thought, hope you consider my ideaa
my name is nicholas or just nick, and i live in santiago. ive been riding for quite a while now and i ride an ironhorse sunday which i actually brought in from NZ hahah and im an allblack fan if that counts at all ahhah
if you were to be interested it would be incredbile but if not its all right.. hit me up and tell me whats up
thanks

hey broo
this might be rather random but im from chile and i just wanted to know who you were riding with donw heree... thats a ridiculously sick track you guys got going there
congratss!

Hell yeah boi there'll be plenty of pics and hopefully vids too. I gotta get a decent camera at some point haha

Sweet, sounds so good. Thanks for the info its def gonna help me organise.

When are you going in 2011? i'm waitlisted for the may trip 2011

I'm off to Chile in July next year. And Mexico in March.

Thanks for the info, it helps, I plan on putting a double chainring up front, also my sx is the 4" slopestyle/4x version, does your Bass handle all the tracks alright, it has 4" right?

i'm sure u'll get a chance to get a photo of the boys before it's starting growing too much!
i'm afraid that i don't have much to say, pretty bored, lots of rain, not much ride coz of it (rain doesn't help for street ride beuh) but the sun is getting nicer.
gonna get my camera out more often now, can't wait for a good street session!

oi! not much boi i'm afraid!
saw ur new haircut on tennblam's fcbk, that is pretty mental. would like to see the others' hahaha!
still waiting on da sun here... too much rain i reckon!

Awesome Photo's. The boys are drooling. You must be missing work, the rush hour traffic not to mention the weeks of rain lately...... what the hell were you thinking travelling halfway around the world with your bike and spade following a dream....bast$#d.

haha ok swt bro

Sounds like my dream job!!Catch you later bro!

So theres a NZ trail building team?

Hello ragdoll

Cheers from a Chilean DH racer/rider

how long is the current chain stay length? What did you wanna make it?

Hey man i may have led you astray - it may be easier to start again on the rear of it...

can be done for sure. How short you wanna make it? got a number in mind? It may get tight around the chain ring if you take much out. Send me an email of the bits you wanna cut bennet@alted.co.nz. The hardest part of the bike is the rear end..... laters

Sweet.. LoL i failed crazy train 3 times.. haha

Damm! I really wanted one!!... Next time i go to woodhill i might do the new X-Asile
