THE ROUNDUP PART 2! 🚜🔥

Thought we were done? Not even close! 😂

The crews have been flat out across the country, and we’ve still got plenty to share. Here’s Part 2! 👇

📍 The Crest

A project with an important purpose! 🙌

Our team has delivered an adaptive MTB trail network, creating more opportunities for people to get out and ride.

Special shoutout to Jason, whose initiative helped bring this idea to life, and the crew for delivering an exceptional, accessible facility.

One we’re incredibly proud of! 👏

📍 Narembeen Dirt Jumps, WA

Another jump park underway! 🚜

Construction has kicked off in Narembeen, with the crew getting stuck into shaping this new facility.

Watch this space! 🔥

📍 Lennard Gorge, WA

Off-grid trail building at its finest! 🪨

A two-person COG crew spent weeks working remotely in the Kimberley, smashing out rockwork, paving and trail improvements.

Tough conditions, incredible country and some seriously impressive craftsmanship, all helping make these trails more resilient.

Outstanding effort, boys! 👊

📍 JD Hardie, WA

Just look at those jumps! 🔥

The finished jump lines look absolutely incredible!

A massive effort from everyone involved in bringing this facility to life.

Now we’re just counting down until it’s officially open so we can get out there and ride it! 🤘

📍 Albany, WA

Giving the old trails some love! 🌿

The crew has been busy at the Pokies network, giving the trails some much-needed maintenance to keep them running sweet.

Not all heroes build new trails, some keep the old ones running bloody beautifully! 😂👊

-

From adaptive MTB trails to remote Kimberley rockwork and epic jump parks, it’s been a massive effort across the country.

Huge thanks to every crew member putting in the hard yards. We’re proud of the work you’re delivering!

THE ROUNDUP IS BACK! 🚧🔥

It’s been a little quiet on here lately… but definitely not out in the field!

Our usual roundup writer traded the keyboard for a machine and has been busy building trails! 🚜

Meanwhile, the crews have been flat out across the country. We’ve got some catching up to do, so here’s Part 1! 👇

📍 Lions and Norrie, QLD

Connor, Troy and Finn - the dream team! 💪

The boys have been absolutely smashing it, tackling this project with confidence and delivering some impressive work.

Asphalt is down and the finishing touches are underway. Nearly there, lads! 👊

📍 Boddington, WA

New trails underway! 🚜

Our ex-Omeo crew has made the trip west and kicked off trail construction in Boddington.

Fresh dirt, a new location and plenty of trail to build. Watch this space! 👀

📍 Currys Gap (Angry Bull Trails), NSW

Dry, dusty and getting it done! ☀️

The crew has been carving incredible trails through some seriously dry and dusty conditions.

Tough going, but the results are looking epic. Massive effort, team! 🤘

📍 Banyan Reserve, VIC

Job started. Job finished. Blink and you’ll miss it! 💨

Another fantastic facility delivered by the COG crew. Efficient work, great teamwork and a cracking result.

Well done, everyone! 👏

📍 Fitzsimons Reserve, NSW

We came. We maintained. We left. 🛠️

It’s not all about building new facilities!

Our maintenance crew has been giving existing trails some much-needed TLC, keeping them running smoothly and riding their best.

📍 Happily Ever After Rebuild - Margaret River, WA 🌲

A little hometown trail magic!

Our Construction Site Manager, Jordon, swapped the computer for some dirt to lead the rebuild of Happily Ever After.

Margs has always been special to our crew, and it was great to see Jordon putting his years of experience to work on home soil.

Huge shoutout to Sara and Gus, who helped bring a beautiful green flow trail to life among the pines.

Awesome work on a project close to home! 💚

That’s Part 1 wrapped up!

Massive effort from all the crews, and there’s plenty more to come.

Part 2 coming soon! 👀🔥

The Weekly Roundup 🚧🔥

The crews are absolutely flat out across the country, with plenty of dirt moving and some seriously good looking projects taking shape. Here’s what’s happening at COG…

📍 Aldershot Pumptrack, VIC

Asphalt is down! The team is now working through the finishing touches and getting this one closer to the finish line. Keep swinging, lads! 🔥

📍 JD Hardie, WA

Wow… just wow. 💥

Our Construction Manager, Jordon, dropped in for a site visit last week and carried out some very important “quality control”, which apparently involved us paying him to ride his bike on some jumps.

His official feedback? This place is awesome! Well done to Roly and the team for delivering this one! 🤘

The crew has been quietly chipping away up north with some help from our friends at Three Chillis. This mega jump facility is really starting to take shape. Surfacing works are underway and it’s looking seriously good.

Awesome work by everyone involved! 👊

📍 Lions and Norrie, QLD

The mega drainage install is complete and the crew is now swinging through the base shapes. There’s plenty happening on this one and we’re looking forward to seeing the design start coming to life! 🚜

📍 Angry Bull Trails, Currys Gap, NSW

Tech, flow, jumps, rocks and just about every other ingredient you need for a bloody good trail network.

The crew has been carving its way through an epic bit of country and this trail network is really starting to come together. We can’t wait to see how this place rides! 🌿🤘

📍 Banyan Reserve, VIC

Nearly time for asphalt! The crew has been busy shaping and refining the track, getting everything dialled in and ready for the black stuff.

Not long now! 👀🔥

We have a few other jobs on the go but these are being kept under wraps until they are complete.🤫 🤐 🚧

ANZAC PARK, QLD - COMPLETE! 🔥

Another fantastic project delivered by the Common Ground Trails team.

A huge congratulations to Connor G (BIG C) and the entire Anzac Park crew for bringing this facility to life. The finished result looks incredible.🤘

A special mention to Connor for his supervision and leadership throughout the project. A great effort getting this one across the line and delivering a result the whole team can be proud of. 👊

We’d also like to recognise Troy and Finn, who stepped up as operators throughout the build and did an outstanding job. It’s great to see our team continuing to develop their skills, take on new responsibilities and grow with each project. 🚜

And a shoutout to Zac, one of the newer members of the COG crew, who joined the team towards the end of the project and played his part in getting the final works completed. Great to have you on board! 💪

Plenty of dirt moved, plenty of shapes built, plenty of asphalt laid and of course, a few laps completed for essential “quality assurance and media development.” 📸🚲

A massive thank you to everyone who contributed to delivering Anzac Park. We’re incredibly proud of the finished facility and can’t wait to see the local community enjoying it.

Congratulations to the entire team, another outstanding COG project delivered. 🔥

The Weekly Roundup is BACK 🚧🔥

It’s been a little while since our last roundup… but things definitely haven’t slowed down at Common Ground Trails.

The crews have been flat out across the country, projects have been completed, new ones have kicked off, and there’s been plenty of dirt moved along the way.

So, here’s a big catch-up on what’s been happening at COG 👇

📍 Aldershot Pumptrack, VIC

Base shape is complete and the crew is moving onto kerbing. This one is coming together nicely, another step closer to the black stuff! 👀

📍 Lions and Norrie, QLD

Site strip is complete and the crew has moved straight into drainage works. This design is pretty cool and we’re keen to see the shapes start popping up. 🚜

📍 Angry Bull Trail, Currys Gap, NSW

Tech, flow, jumps, rocks and all kinds of fun! The team has been busy carving their way through this epic location and the trails are really starting to come together. We can’t wait to see how this place rides 🤘🌿

📍 JD Hardie, WA

DIRT JUMPS! The crew has been quietly ticking away alongside our friends at Three Chillis to bring this mega facility to life. Surfacing works are coming up, so stay tuned… this one is going to be epic 💥

📍 Banyan Reserve, VIC

A rather soggy start, but the crew has been punching on and getting it done. The first lifts are in and the team is officially on their way up! 🌧️🚜

Stay tuned, there is plenty happening around Australia and Plenty more to come. ⛏️

31/07/2026

We definitely miss hitting the gnar and sending it off into the sunset at Omeo! Those were some pretty special years with an awesome crew.

But it's just as rewarding to see what Omeo has become. Hearing how much people love riding the network and seeing riders enjoying the trails we helped build makes all the hard work worth it.
