The Carnage Report from Nannup (Update on Paul Deklerk)
Wed, 30/04/2008 - 17:02 — ClubberWell if you weren't at Nannup racing on the Anzac long-weekend, you probably aren't aware that Paul D. had one of the nastiest crashes we’ve seen for a long time (it happened off the large rock huck in the first rock garden).
First of all, Paul will be OK. Second, Paul sent me a SMS from Bridge town hospital to ask me to thank all those people involved in getting him off the hill—Thanks! Third, Paul suffered a broken bone on the side of the spine, but there is no spinal damage. Also, he has a small broken bone in his left hand. On top of all that he has ended up with some severe bruising to his legs, back, & buttocks. Today Paul received news that he should be out of hospital tomorrow (Thursday 1st May).
On behalf of PMBC and all the riding crew I would like to wish Paul a smooth and speedy recovery. All the best Paul, we hope to see you out on a bike soon.
Cheers,
Steve “Clubber of Seals” Buursema

PMBC State Rd 1 Nannup
Tue, 08/04/2008 - 15:37 — ClubberPMBC will be holding the first State round of the 2008 season in the Lewana Pine Plantation, Nannup. Although the calendar stated otherwise, PRACTISE WILL BE ON SAT 26th and RACING ON Sun 27th of April (ANZAC long weekend). The Nannup track was designed specifically for the 2005 National Round held there and is by far the best DH that WA has to offer. Sam Hill was one of the lead designers of the track, and it offers way more vertical drop than anything else around. It also offers some of the biggest variety of obstacles, with a huge double jump (optional), to fast fire road at the top, one of the best rock garden sections around, then into single-track (very technical) down through the deep-dark woods, complete with terraces, step downs and fully walled berms!

Club Dh #1 - Goat Farm
Thu, 03/04/2008 - 12:49 — BrynoThe 2008 DH Season kicks off this Sunday 6th April, with a club round at the Goat Farm.
We will be using last year's State Champs track, and will be expecting a big turn out for the first event of the year. This race last year attracted over 120 riders, which proved to be a handful for rego, as most people were also wanting to renew/sign up for season memberships. As a result we are going to start the race a little later in order to give everyone a chance to get all rego/membership stuff out of the way, and get a decent practice in too. *New number plates for this year must be purchased for $5 at the event, and will be used for every race over the season. For online rego just put any number into the plate number section.
Free Race Entry!!!!
Tue, 01/04/2008 - 17:30 — BrynoAs you may be aware we are starting a new volunteer system in order to combat the problems encountered in previous years, and to give the committee a bit more time to practice/race.
Part of this new system is to offer incentives for parents, partners, friends etc to help out at events. Anyone who contacts the club to help out over the course of the event will be able to gain free entry for a rider of their choice. ie, a parent who volunteers to help over the course of the day/event, will then get free entry for their kid.
These volunteer positions will be the kind that competitors will not be able to fill, such as Marshals, Shuttle drivers, Starters, Timing assistants etc. These positions are all very simple and straight forward and no prior experience is necessary. So if you want to save some money on your kid's racing habit please email dh@perthmtb.com and let us know if you are available for upcoming races.

Wed, 26/03/2008 - 16:38 — BrynoHow’s it going all ya mad mountain bikers—EH! Well ya brought this upon yourselves…Yes that’s right Steven (Canuck…AKA “Seal Clubber”) Buursema has become the new Vice President for DH in 2008—not bad…Eh! No one from Perth; from WA; or from Australia put their hand up so you’ve had to recruit from overseas and import a foreigner from Canada—eh, but hey we couldn’t let the club be shelved for a year and lose a majority of the races that were scheduled for 2008. So I would like to introduce myself and welcome back all the “old-skool” crew for another fantastic year of racing.

Goat Farm DH Busy bee - Cancelled
Tue, 09/10/2007 - 13:42 — BrynoWe have been fortunate this week in that DEC and Paul Neve have managed to pretty much finish the track, so a busy bee will not be necessary. Finishing touches (lawnmowing/snippering etc) will happen next week. Have fun riding it this weekend! Otherwise don't forget about the 4X at Paul's on Sunday!

Turner Hill Track Building weekend
Mon, 17/09/2007 - 17:19 — johncarneyOn the weekend of 6th & 7th of October the club will be having a track building session at Turner Hill in Dwellingup. This is one of the best tracks and the upgrades will help to remove some of the old rutted out sections and also some part of the step fire road climb out the back. The changes have been approved by DEC and Clinton from DEC will be joining us for part of the weekend to watch over proceedings.
Track building legend Jamie Campbell is the mastermind behind the changes so it is sure to be a fun track.
I am informed that there is now a toilet at Turner Hill as well as plans for a bigger neater car park. Some people will be camping over night so that they can enjoy as muhc trail building and riding as possible.
Please let me know here if you can make the weekend as the more helpers we have the more we can get done.
