Boomerang Farm entry details update.

Hey guys and girls!

To all riders heading down to Boomerang Farm, they will notice over the coming days the implementation of wristbands to allow Farm staff/ORA committee quick and easy recognition of who has actually signed in. This should act as a reminder, that “signing in” is a condition of entry that everyone must adhere to.

wrists
For riders, you’ll be given a green wristband, wear it as you like however it must remain visible at all times. Non riders will receive alternate coloured bands on the day. If you do not have a wristband on, you will be asked to head back to the shop and sign in.

Further to that, riding times are now as follows, 7am-4pm daily. Failure to leave the Farm at closing time(check with staff) will find your vehicle locked in and an extra fee payable to have the gate unlocked. We have been working hard to secure an “open daily” format, it now up to you guys to keep it that way!

For further info, hit us on the contact us page or check in over at Facebook!

Stay steezy

Boomerang Farm update.

Heads up to all peeps heading out to Boomerang Farm.

A small charge of $10 is now applicable for all riders. Like many other clubs, this is something that cant be avoided and giving some love back to the owners only helps us in the future. Each rider will be given a wristband for the day. No band/no ride…..

As per usual, sign in still applies but a committee member will collect the coin until we integrate it with the Farm’s register. We shall update you as info comes in,

Should it need to be said, Sunday’s are currently still the only ride or “want to go take a look” day.

Thanks!

Tuesday at the farm.

So, after putting it out there to get some help, Troy, Paul, Daniel and Andrew showed up.

Thanks for all the help out there today guys, truly awesome and massive thanks to Bob for the shuttle pig. What was even better, Troy rocks up on a 29’er. What followed was some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen for a while. Not only did he get loose on the rock chute….but top to bottom, one of the hairiest if not the most sketchy, ride I’ve seen hahaa Good fun lads, vid below!

A shortage of pies aye?

IMG_8069

After 5 hours of walking the track, I hit the shop at Boomerang Farm looking for a curry pie and a beer. Chrissy greeted me from behind the counter and gave me “that” look…..a quick glance at the pie warmer and I knew what she was about to say. There were no pies……no curry pies….nothing! But with good reason, as she explained it to me it was like 6 minutes of mayhem when all the crew from the days ride confronted her wanting food. 25 pies and the pasties all gone? It’s all your fault Roy!!! Continue reading →

Top 4 out for a few days.

Hey guys and girls.

You may have seen the post, but the hard work by some gets ruined by a few and sets us a back a bit. Shane has been working on the top line to get things in mint condition, but someone felt the need(even after a closing it off) for a few runs and basically put a spanner in the works.

Please guys, stay off the top four until Shane updates us all on it!

Cheers

We need your input.

p4pb11048523

We would like your input on fee’s involved around riding/shuttling and ask what you guys think is fair and reasonable.

As for the poll below, the question is based on Boomerang Farm;

  • An individual rider and how much they would be happy to pay.
  • Self shuttles.
  • As you may know the intention is for multiple tracks, however please base your response on the current available tracks, those being “Rodney’s Run” and the FR line.
  • Feel free to add any extra detail.

Thanks guys!
