Some old footage

Doing a bit of cleaning out on the hard drive and I stumbled across some old footage that I don't think made the cut in any of my short movies so I slapped it together. There's a bit of Old bat, the now defunct Wenny Falls jumps and Lithgow

Found another one

This one is from about 2002. As you can see a big fire had ripped through the area. I was surprised you could see the trail.

Excellent vids Flynny, thanks for sharing them. There is some very skilled riding there. It is capped off with a nice stack at the end too. Bit of bark off there. Smiling

Just out of curiosity, what is the downhill / freeride track in the first part of the first video? Is that trail still open and useable? Can you post a Google Map reference for it? I have a ride starting to form for this...

(We have got to get back to Lithgow and have you show us around these trails. Real soon!!)

The first track with the road gap one of the Old bathurst road tracks at Blaxland.
The tracks there were first made by Paul King back in the day. Nothing there is official and the Man seems happy to turn a blind eye to it just now but it is starting to get overly popular.
Straightlines and stupid additions began going in all over the place to the ire of locals.

The Old Bat crew have clean the place up a bit, blocked off the straightlines and try to keep the trails tidy.

the trails start and finish in residential areas close to houses so If you are heading there keep a low profile and keep the noise down.
