Rollers leading into a large berm:
The rest of the track is roughed in but will need lots more work done to create the rollers and berms.

New Pumptrack at Beacon
Work has started on a new pump track at Beacon (near the dirt jumps). The pump track is going to be in the shape of a figure eight and will have lots of berms and rollers. Here is the progress so far.

Jumps rebuilt
Some old jumps that were deteriorated at Beacon have been recently rebuilt. The lips were rebuilt and the landings were lengthened. The jumps are much smoother now!
On the tabletop jump pictured below I rebuilt the lip, added some dirt to flatten out the top and smoothed out the landing.
The landing had lots of ruts from dirt bikes so I filled in the ruts and reshaped the road so water drains properly. Here is the landing now:
The last few jumps on Ryan's Gulley (next to the dual slalom course) have also been improved (thanks Dave). There is now a tabletop jump which leads to 3 gap jumps that are rebuilt with new lips and landings. We added some case pads to the landings so now people will be less likely to crash if they come up short. The last 2 jumps are pictured below:
