What To Send Us Before We Can Assess Your Property
Five minutes of gathering saves a week of back and forth

We get a lot of messages that say "can you build me a track?" with nothing else attached. We'll always reply — but we can't tell you anything useful until we can see what we're working with.
Here's the list. None of it is hard, and most people already have it on their phone.
1. The address, or the listing link
An address lets Adam look at satellite imagery, contours and access before anything else happens. If you haven't bought yet, send the listing link — same job, and we'd rather look before you sign.
2. A rough boundary
A screenshot with a line drawn around what's yours, or what's available to ride on, is plenty. Mark the parts that are off limits: house, sheds, crops, dams, stock, tree lines you want kept.
3. Photos or a drone clip
Ground-level photos tell us about surface and vegetation. A drone lap tells us about fall and scale. Both together tell us more than any measurement you could send.
4. Who's riding, and what on
- Ages and experience of everyone who'll use it
- Bikes or machines — 50s, juniors, adults, SxS, quads, trucks
- Whether it's family riding, coaching, club use or racing
- Whether you expect mates and visitors regularly
5. What you already know about the ground
Soil type, how it goes after rain, where water sits, any fill or rock you've hit before, and anything you've already had done on the property. If you don't know, say so — that's fine, it just becomes part of the assessment.
6. Timing and how you want to stage it
Some builds happen in one hit. Plenty get staged — a core loop now, extensions later. Knowing which one you're after changes the advice we give you.
What happens next
Michelle answers first and gets the details straight. Adam looks at the block. If it stacks up, we'll talk about what the land will support and when the setup can realistically be in your region. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.

Co-Founder & Managing Director
Michelle Thurrowgood
Michelle built and runs the business side of Full Throttle Earthworks — the brand, the systems, marketing, enquiries, quotes, invoices, partnerships and growth — so Adam can stay on the machines and in the dirt.
She's the one mapping the run between regions, answering the first message you send, and keeping the register moving.
She writes about the route, how a build gets organised, and what families and clubs need to know before they start.
