Nice to know that he was ok after this crash with nothing broken. Neck brace is a must!

For those that commute
Slightly off-topic however a lot of folks here commute as well as MTB - Rideable.org have done a survery of winter commuter riding in Sydney, have a look at the video on Rideable

Cascades update for 18 Jun
Rode 4 gates yesterday. Broke my PB by 3 minutes! Trail is in good condition but is still a bit wet here and there. Nothing too soft or muddy to worry about.

Wanted: Crapppy Old Bike
I am looking for a crappy old bike for a mate who is not in a great financial position at present. His son is now 6 and is riding and he just needs something he can ride around on with his boy, so size and fit of the bike are irrelevant. If anyone has a dusty, rusty bike that they are happy to clear out, then please let me know. Women’s bikes would not be an issue either…anything that pedals.

Garigal NP/Bantry Bay Proposed Trails - Act Now!
There have been a couple of threads go up on the form about this, but this is actually big, BIG news so please take note.
NPWS have out for comment some proposed amendments to Garigal National Park plan of management. These include construction of a Mountain Bike Track Bantry Bay. Ie. a step closer to the long awaited authorised access to this area.
It's in everyone's interest to get behind this... which is as easy as visiting this page...
... and completing the form with some words like, "I'm a keen parks user who fully supports the proposal to create sustainable mountain bike trails at Bantry Bay, and anywhere else in the Sydney's suburban parks for that matter.". Of course, don't use those exact words, but you get the gist.
