Dirt park park status

With this spring weather we are having, we are only opening the park when the weather is good and when there is a few people around to take the covers off and dig etc. Send me through a text 021 1040 007 or hit me up on facebook if you are keen to come out and take the covers off, dig and ride this works best for me in the evenings (this is the best time as it is not hot) or weekends. We need a few people to do this as it is a fair bit of work to get the park running.

Every thursday we have dig ride session starting around 4pm

Please check or subscribe to are twitter feed to the right of this page to see if the park is going to be open before you come out to ride. For more info or to contact us go here or email us pt@firepit.co.nz

Please respect this park as a massive amount of work as gone into them :-]

Opening day of the season dirt jam

24th October 2010 – 10 am to 4pm

Opening day of the season at the firepit dirtpark will be at the same time as the Ngatimoti School Festival so come out to the park and bang out a few runs on the pump track and dirt jumps and grab a sausage or two. There will be no comp just a opportunity for a session.
We are hoping to have all dirt jump lines up running by then as well. If you are keen to come out on the 23rd as well for a dig / ride session we will be out there getting everything ready.

Roll on summer, cheers
