Can u Dig it?
Come on, who wants it?! Dream jobs right here!
How much will it cost me for your team to come and build a decent track at Pitfichie?
I think eveyone is polishing their CV’s and writing covering letters…
After seeing how good the stuff is that he built up FOD , if I get rich I know i will be hiring him
Leon are you kidding mate, that trail is utter t&rd.. lack of surfacing material already eroding leaving wet patches, questionable grading, another take the money and run trail build that will need repairing in the not so distant future. Seems strange how the same names win the tenders, perhaps the odd cash favor going on there, nudge, nudge, wink, wink..
@dave, all trials will need maintenance if the owners pay for it is another story
Mark McClure hands down!
hahaha! Dream job indeed!
Would love this job, I’m not qualified. I’ve got a normal haircut and don’t wear cheque shirts.
Dave, are you one of the fod riders who can’t get through the new trails without coming up short or flat landing the stepdowns? Seems to be a lot of riders moaning about it, but really are just frustrated.
@Hopi – urr no..
