Elizabeth Lookout - Mother and Daughter
DH Opening
Old firetrail
Some of the old firetrail at Knapsack Reserve.
Knapsack DH Jumping
A variety of tracks with a mix of firetrail and technical single track. Currently a bit of a maze which allows for creating your own loop.
Also includes a legal DH Track.
Warrimoo DH - Needs your support
Keep your eyes on this one guys as it has great significance to the local MTB scene!

Hey guys,
As you would be aware, Ku-ring-gai Council has recently put some signs up the top of the trail implying that it is an approved bike track. This is however not entirely the case. It was apparently too well built, to justify the cost of destroying it so they put the signs in as a temporary measure.
In the mood (world cup 2010 #5)
If this doesn't get you in the mood for a ride this weekend, nothing will!
The skills these guys have are insane - how did Gwin hold onto that!? 
Fantastic clip of the DH world cup round at Val di Sole!

Morgan Rd, Oxford Falls
Who is this course for?
For the experienced rider, this course is specifically aimed at taking those with some technical skills to the world of DH and freeriding. Covering downhill fundamentals, Learning to Fly introduces the techniques needed when the trail gets steep, jumps & tabletops appear and you want to get some air!

Thredbo DH
I am heading down to Thredbo to do some Cannonball shenanigans this coming Anzac long weekend.
Just wondering if anyone else had any plans to head down and wanted to get together for some runs down the mountain.
I will be riding Sunday 25th and Maybe the afternoon of Saturday 24th.
A sad day for mtb, the loss of OBR
Damn despite a positive report and encouraging recommendations BMCC Councillors last night voted to close down the long established trails along side Old Bathurst Rd, Blaxland.
Standing alone in support was Clr Luccetti.
The construction and continued use of "Candy bar", a poorly constructed and thought out trail at Mt Riverview condemned by senior riders since it's creation, was a contributing factor in this decision and those riders responsible need to take a long hard look at themselves.
AMBC Learning to Fly - Introductory DH Clinic
Morgan Road, Belrose. At the second 90 degree right hand bend in the road. There's an area just before you can park and a firetrail heading off to the left.
Who is this course for?
~ Are you an experienced rider who has tried downhilling & wants to get into something more radical?
~ Do the downhill sections of your favourite trail get your adrenaline pumping?
~ Are you interested in developing more DH and freeride skills?
~ Do you want to ride with other MTB riders at your skill level?
~ Do you want to start going faster downhills and over those drops?
~ This is your first step to ride like Nathan Rennie.
