Status? Mona Vale Road single track

Anyone ridden the sniggle behind the back of the showgrounds and Mona Vale road this week? Is it a boggy mess?

I'm probably a bit better than an intermediate rider, do you reckon this trail would be possible for me. I can do manly dam well but the page says its pretty technical. Also are there any jumps? could you recommend a place with many jumps and singletrack?
Thanks

Wanted to borrow: air from compressor

Hi All

I'm trying to put a UST Crossmark on my UST rims and I just can't get it to seal. In the past this has always been hassle free but with this one it's being a pain, soapy water etc all not working. Does anyone in the Manly region have a compressor that I could get a hit of air from at some stage (my arms are shagged from trying this with a track pump)? I can get anywhere in the region at any time that suits you

thanks in advance

Mountain biking Oxford falls

So, I've looked at the trails which are at oxford falls and it seems most of them seem to be illegal. I've been looking for some singletrack and i was wondering if there was any out at Oxford Falls. Also for the downhill trail, I ride a hard-tail but love to do small trails is it possible to get down without destroying my bike. I've seen some videos and it seems the first past has jumps which look ok for a hardtail. Would i have to turn back afterwards? or is there a way around all the drops.
Thanks
