Green Jobs Corps project well under way at Clarence MTB Park

Dirt Art is well underway on a Green Jobs Corps project developing a fresh 2km singletrack loop at Clarence MTB Park in Tasmania. The project involves teaching trail building and conservation knowledge to a group of youths on a Newstart allowance. The trail itself will be a flowing, gentle climb up a mossy gully, followed by a fast, flow-down descent back into the main park area. The up route of the trail will also provide a much-needed link to the summit of the Meehan Range. Pictures will be posted up soon...

Triabunna Pump/Jump Track

Battling some wet, cold and frosty days the team recently wrapped up another jump/pump park in Triabunna recently. The design was for a beginner to intermediate facility that could be utilised as a fun, flowing jump facility that doubled as a pump track loop. The completed park can be jumped or pumped with lines for beginner or those looking for more air time. All going well the park should be open by the end of June.

Coastal jump trails- the Dirt Art team enjoys a week in sunny Bicheno

After over two years in the development phase it was smiles all round as the team set off up the coast to sunny Bicheno. This project was a set of beginner to intermediate jump trails nestled in amongst the local eucalypts. The challenge was to introduce a flowing set of trails while not disturbing the surrounding native flora- and I think the results speak for themselves...This is one of the best looking facilities we've built, and the views out over Tasmania's east coast beaches don't go astray either. The park was launched recently, and proved a massive hit with the locals. The facility includes a stage two trail network development, so watch this space.

Hobart gets a pump track...

3 days in May and Hobart City gets a new pocket pump track. With a footprint of just 10x20m this was always going to be a challenge, but at Dirt Art we live for a challenge. The finished product provides numerous line and direction change options in a tight little track with a good flow. Due to its size the course is not the easiest pump track you'll ride, but persist and you'll be rewarded. It is possible to jump right around the track for those with the skills!
