What's under the astro for the current features? I know some of them have moved a little. My worry with building them with gravel underneath is that they will move. I've build a lot of mountain bike/bmx jumps from clay heavy dirt, and they always need maintaining annually anyway. One of the tricks we always used was to use a log at the lip of the jump, keeps the material from crumbling at the lip.

Maintaining them under astro is always going to be a pain, so how coule we make them permanent? Concrete is the obvious solution, but even under astro, its a very hard surface, but it's no porous so it wont turn into a squidgy mess or move gradually as thousands of buggies hit it over the season.

Thoughts?

Also, a lot of talk about a project manager. I was a little bit reluctant to admit it, but i am a project manager by trade, although an IT one. If people like i can project manage this, build a plan, assign people tasks, manage the budget, purchasing etc. All that may be OTT, but again, what do you think?
