http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?...
For some "how the f*ck did he do that" type action! There's even a beginners section that promises no need to hop or stand.
Will be trying to make at least the STXC on Saturday.
Also NSWMTB has a great calendar which you can check out to see what's on in coming months:
Ourimbah State Forest Sat 13th Jan 2007
Well after the success of Stuarts Oaks ride I am hitting up Ourimbah state forest.
Where: Red Hill Rd Ourimbah State Forest
When: 8:30am Sat 13th Jan
Directions: http://www.ccomtb.org.au/more_information6.htm (See "Where are we?" picture)
Planning on riding the XC race course several times. One lap is approx 7km and varies from firetrail to tight twisting single trail. One lap should take from 30 to 45 mins.
A medium level of fitness is required to do this ride and the course is aimed at the intermediate to advanced riders. Beginner riders dont be discouraged you should be able to ride plenty of the course. It is much like the latter portion of the Oaks single track....(please correct me if I am wrong).
Wednesday morning ride
anyone interested in a ride on Wednesday morning before work... 7am start @ Oxford Falls?!?!?? ( Morgan Rd.)

Star Wars Cops
Hello all,
Nothing to do with MTB riding. But for any sci-fi fans out there, I thought I would share a funny Star Wars video I found. Enjoy! 
geocaching anyone?
I think this is something that would be awesome to do on rides. I did this with a friend today and it was actually quite fun.
Basically, someone leaves a "cache" of items in a particular location and publishes the GPS coordinates, and sometimes some clues that lead to where to find the cache...sometimes its even kind of like puzzle to work out what the real coordinates are from a given set of starting coordinates.
If you find it, you either swap something out or add something to the cache and fill in a logbook usually at the cache that you visited it, then leave for the next person to find.
Wisemans Ferry
Hi, I am heading up to Wisemans Ferry on Monday for a holiday and was just wondering if anyone had any information on the tracks up there. I have read the "great northern road" ride and also downloaded the KMZ for google earth. I was just wondering if there were any points which were really good, or places to avoid or people who have riden it recently to talk to. Oh, and like most, i prefer downhill to uphill and i already know of spiders Any informaiton on the track would be great. and i dont mind riding a hill to get to a sweet downhill.
Thanks,
Tim
Anyone on Manly Dam
Hey guys. I was riding Manly Dam today (Saturday) with my dad and met a group of four riders at the top of the "all down hill from here" section. I was just wondering if it was anyone from the NOBMOB crew. I was riding a Mongoose and my dad was riding my new Kona. It was about 5:30pm.
Thanks.
see ya on the trails.
Tim

Week off...
S!
I know that most of you are insanely jealous of this, but I will also have next week off from work - Mon 8th to Fri 12th.
To try and tee up some of the usual weekday rides (not at night), is anyone else also off from work? Anyone interested in some weekday MTB madness?
Cheers,
Liam
anyone here on weekend?
Hello!
Is there anyone who is not going to the Blue Mountains interested in a ride on the weekend? I was thinking early or late either day as I do have to work for both of them - early meaning 7.30 - 8am and late after 6pm (doesn't get dark till 8.30).
I will go somewhere anyway... but can safely say it won't be Cascades!!!
MEEE 
Thursday ride??
Anyone interested in a Thursday morning ride? Say about 9:00 a.m. If so, where?
Cheers.

Saturday 6th Jan
Hi everyone,
Can't make it on the sunday, have to attend a bday party.
Anyone want to join me for a ride on Saturday morning? I was contemplating doing Andersons Firetrail and then doing the Oaks (i.e. Wentworth Falls to Woodford to Glenbrook). I'm open for any other ride suggestions if your keen.
Cheers,
Flo
The Oaks, Sunday 7th, 6.52am train!

Where: well the Oaks obviously
When: Sunday 7th January 07
Time: 6.52 am train from Glenbrook station, this departs Central at 5.48 if your training it all the way, and should have us at Woodford by 7.23am.
What: The Oaks fire trail standard run, ie Woodford to Glenbrook, not St Helena's.
Confirmed starters: Stuart, Bernd, Evan, Tien, Carolyn, Flow.
If you want to join us then please feel free to, just post back here or send me a text 0412 174 282, failing that
City Trails?
Aloha!
I'm new here in the forum, and newish to MTBing in Australia (just moved here in April '06.)
I currently live in Randwick. Do any of you guys know of any trails or anything similar to a trail around here? Its always time consuming getting to the mountains or the North Shore. (not really that it's a problem, just takes time).
Centennial Park isn't bad, and its at my doorstep.
Any suggestions, or people wanting to go for a ride around here - that would be cool!
cheers,
Flo
MWMBT Race Day- St Ives 23-12-06
Matt and I turned up for one of the Manly Warringah Mountain Bike Club race meetings, this one at St Ives. This was a great afternoon and something NoBMoB should join more often.
Matt and I both signed on as Group C. I was well placed in this group as I finished last in both our races. You know I couldn’t believe these guys didn’t stop every 100 metres or so for me to catch up, bastards.
Guess who was the stand out winner in both our races? yes it was steroids Matt. I told you all I was right.
Jokes aside Matt really kicked ass, so much so that he has been up graded to B division. I recon he would give the A's a run for their money!
morning ride on the 31st
Hi there!
Anybody interested in a last ride in the old year on Sunday morning (aroud 7.30ish)??
Would love to go to Oxford Falls or Red Hill but I don't exactly know my way around there, so if anybody knows the way or is up for an adventure that'd be great!! Otherwise I am happy riding around the Dam.
Will be away from tomorrow to 30th evening, so no internet but txt me (see profile) and I'll check this page out when I am back!
Cheers

Gibberagong track???
Hi Guys, just down for the holdidays and exploring the area and I noticed the Gibberagong track marked on map. It starts at the end of Grosevener Street in North Wahroonga and looks to go all the way down to Bobbin Head. Has any one out there ridden this??
I was thinking it might be a nice loop down this Gibberagong track and back up the Bobbin Head tracks to the Sphynx, any comments?
body armour?
Hi all! New to the site, kinda new to off road riding as well...
A little background...in July I had an operation in my right shoulder for a partially torn bicep tendon and screwed up shoulder in general (bicep tenodesis and arthroscopic acromioplasty - I play a lot of volleyball). Not really expecting "full recovery" till mid January but I've been feeling good with playing sports again for couple of weeks now and went for a ride with a friend near ANSTO (Lucas Heights/Menai)
900m into the ride I flip coming off a boulder and of all places land on my right shoulder.
Sunday 24 Dec late afternoon- probable ride at Yellowmundee
Me and a mate have arranged for an unexpected ride for Yellowmundee in the lower Blue Mountains late on Sunday afternoon - looking for something like a 4:00 p.m. start. Hopefully all my shopping will be out of the way by then. 
I have never ridden through there, so there is bound to be some exploration going on. But I should let you know this will be a fairly social, leisurely ride. Hey, it's Christmas!!
If anyone else was interested in joining us, please drop me a text message as you are more welcome to join us. Please use a text message as I will probably not be viewing this site late Saturday or on Sunday.
Short Track MTB & Cyclo-Cross 23/12/06
If you're looking for something to do tomorrow arvo to escape christmas shopping & partying MWMTB are holding Short Track XC racing & a BBQ at St Ives Showground.

The Oaks Wed 27th December
Was thinking of doing the Oaks (Woodford to Glenbrook only) Wednesday December 27th if anyone would like to join me.
Would normally be on the 8am train from Glenbrook but it turns out there is no 8am train weekdays so our choices are either 7.28 which gets us to Woddford by 8 or 8.28 which surprisingly gets us to Woodford at 9. My thoughts are that the later train is getting too late, particularly if it ends up being a hotter day, so would like to be on the 7.28 train. In that Glenbrook is normally only about 40mins from home (Gladesville) this shouldn't be too big an ask. Post back your thoughts if you intend joining me.
