Day three progress shot from Cove Creek.

Dirt Art to revamp Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park

On March 1st Dirt Art is set to embark on a major overhaul of the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park. The park was initially built for a very small budget, and while the park is renowned as one of Australia's finest, some areas of the park never received the TLC they deserved. Works will begin with overhauls of the downhill trail and sections of the cross-country trail. Both these trails will be groomed and adjusted prior to the national series round at the park on the 1st of March. Planned works also include a totally new and unique dirt jumping facility and pump track, a new dual slalom track, and a brand new downhill jump/freestyle trail. The works wil finish up with some serious grooming of the main village area. Dirt Art are please to have the opportunity to re-establish Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park as an industry leading facility.

Cove Creek Dirt Jumps- Day two

Day two of works at Cove Creek saw some serious shaping and packing. The main park layout is in, and is mostly packed and groomed. We expect works to be completed towards the end of next week, then just a few days of watering and packing to get things dialled.

Cove Creek Jump Park- work begins!

Today was day one of works at the new Cove Creek dirt jump park and pump track. The facility is being built to cater for beginner to intermediate riders, and will be a totally new concept for public jump parks in Australia. The park incorporates a "freestyle layout" where riders can choose countless different line variations through double jumps, hip jumps, berms, and rollers. The infinite riding options at this compact jump park will ensure that riders enjoy the facility for years to come. The facility will be completed in early March, with a public opening to be announced soon.

Clarence Mountain Bike Park- near complete

We have just about completed the impossible- completing a full scale mountain bike park to a meticulous standard, in under 2 months. The Clarence Mountain Bike Park is near completion, with only top coating of the dirt jumps and mountain-cross, and some small link tracks left to finish things off. The park packs Australia's most diverse mountain bike park in to a small scenic valley on Hobart's Eastern Shore, and offers a vast array of terrain to suit riders of all abilities. While we have seen an improvement in volunteer numbers, overall the volunteer turn out has been poor, and more enthusiasm will be required to finish the park off.
We expect the park to be complete following further volunteer days in around 2 weeks time, with an official opening schedule for March with exact dates to be confirmed. For more information on the park, or to put up your hand to get involved please email us: simon@dirtart.com.au
