Insane Film day episode 3: Bender
Flynny's frequent Flyers
One of the first bits of trail i designed and constructed from scratch and still one of my favorite sections at Lidsdale.
More twisty than it looks on the map it just has a nice flow. 3 little jumps add to it's appeal.
The first is a small double, though it's now rollable due to the landed being pounded down by repeated casings. The Seconds a single hump that i like to prejump to pump out of the back end and the Third is a bigger double off to the left that sets you up for the sharp right/left into the Dungeon.
The Wang Kings Dungeon
The bottom part of the Dungeon was first constructed by some of the Wang locals as a little DH trail. We liked it so incorporated it into the trail with an little climb back out to the fire rd.
Following on from the Flyers it's a damn nice run even if I do say so myself
Brams Bendy bits
Brams Bendy bits is a relatively easy climb out from the Dungeon. Some tight tiwsts snake it's way up beside the fire road.
Can be hooked up with the Frequent Flyiers and Dungeon for another nice mirco loop
The Squiggles
The squiggles is an integral part of any loop at the XC compound of Lidsdale.
A nice little loop on it's own it is the first ST section of our usual Twilight series loop (The othe rtwo being "Meggsies Maze of Madness" and "Acid Bomb/3 men and a chainsaw"
Fun in either direction, with the Squiggles we have the several options in how to include it into the bigger loop, including off shoots that will link up either side of the loop with "The dam climb" and "Flynny's frequent Fliers"
Glen's mystery tour of messed up mayhem
This was a nice little ride/walk....
After a fun DH and some not so fun up hill slogs we turned of the firetrail 1 gully to early and found ourselves following some very "over grown" single trail... before reaching the top fire trail again and then on into the second bit of single trail near the old forestry house.
Not a bad ride, the up hills are a real challenge if you want to try and push yourself and the single trail a little straight if your not going full pass on a moto but interesting all the same
Ego's not a dirty Word
This is a reverse of the normal start for the XC at Lidsdale State forest.
A fun blast down the fire rd before hitting the fast and twisty first section of single trail. You get a good down hill flow before the "Grant Medlock Memorial Pinch" makes you legs scream and lungs want to burst....
Finshes at the fire rd crossing before continuing into the "Clover Leaf"
