Gravity Mountain - used to be a Pit Jump

Simmo Saturday, 2/28/2026

Hi All,

Just an update on the new track build.

As some of you know, I used to have a jump pit for "Jump X", which was fun but I was always going to be build a proper "race track".

So, I ripped up the jump pit and work has begun in my Race Cabin for the new track - Gravity Mountain.

Current works:

- The tall structure is going to be the top of Gravity Mountain where the start gate will be, this will be covered in a rock face diorama.

- The back wall will have a board and I have some light blue sheeting for backdrop sky etc.

- I may extend the end of the base out to the right, for either track extension or scenery diorama

- The underneath is a dumping ground at the moment, but I have chequered flag material to drape round.

- I will be going to the usual suspects to order the track pieces and currently just drawing out/designing the race track layout.

But at the moment it is prep and sorting. To be continued.

Cheers

Simmo

And the rather messy work station and bench.

And potential track design - yet to be decided.

That's a nice space/cabin to be able to dedicate to a track!

Haha. Cheers gang, it was a big reason we bought this house a couple of years ago, it doubles up as my office when I work from home. But, yes, big seller for me so I could do stuff like this.
