07.01.2022 We’ve broadened our fleet with a new 2.7t machine, perfect for building larger scale flow trails. First job is development of a brand new beginner flow trail at Maydena Bike Park (dodging the recent snow!).

07.01.2022 Bare Creek Bike Park Update We understand everyone is keen to ride the new park! Unfortunately we do not have an open date yet, and the reasons for this are completely out of our control. A small Dirt Art team remains on site managing a range of works, focusing on general civil works associated with the landfill site. This remains an active construction site and as such entry is strictly prohibited- there are numerous other works going on in the area not related to the bike ...park, much of which involves very large high risk machinery. Over recent days there have been a number of public attempts to enter the site, which is very dangerous and only slows the project down. We’d appreciate if everyone would sit tight for just a little longer! @mattstaggsvisuals

06.01.2022 More dirt jump builds are underway. This park launches in late December. Merry Christmas!

If you’re a passionate ...mountain bike rider with a strong work ethic, we’d encourage you to get in touch. Experience in trail building or related industries (such as landscaping) is preferred but not essential. You will be joining our awesome NSW based teams, who will provide training, and a supportive and rewarding work environment. Please direct all Enquiries to [email protected] . We will not respond to Enquiries via social media. To apply please send a CV and into email to the above email.

05.01.2022 On this day 3 years ago, our trail crews begun work on the crazy journey that is Maydena Bike Park. We’ve endured floods, fires and now COVID-19, but we are still smiling, and we are still building trails. Our teams have yet to stop, with the park’s trail network set to tip over 100km this summer, and dirt jumps, an air bag jump, skills park and so much more underway. This is our version of mountain bike paradise, and we hope you’ll come and share it with us as COVID restrictions allow.
