hey guys

i hit the trails when i get time for non racing training lol. Not much for the full dh scene... not enough talent :) but love single tracking :) where the fuck in daisy you use a full dh rig ??:)

roll a 29er these days, borrowed from work so not always available. also if you need bits let me know might be able to help people out :)

also, lycra... thats how i roll :) only cos im too cheap to buy mtb specific clothes :)

bunya is a pretty gr8 track to break up the monotony :)

nerang is fucking GREAT fun :)

its an older bike, not really full down hill spec by todays standards, ie-no triple clamps, just rolling on rock shox pike, which are sweet, avid juicy front and back, da bomb wheelset, its a reasonably nice setup for under 1200 (second hand parts) i just hit all the tracks along the fire trail really. and mtb specific clothes? i roll in boardies and singlet...fucking hurts when you come off but. lol

I go when ever I can. Hard to fit the mtb in the mx5 haha, has to disassemble most of it. I prefer gap creek - pipeline and dingo track ftw!

I used to ride bmx, mainly trails. would love to head back to a skate park at some point and give in another bash haha.

yeah another thing that gives me the shits is having to disassemble the bike every time lol, don't have a quick release on the front either, pain in the ass it is... part of the fun I guess..
