POV Videos of tracks
Hi forum,
Just wondering if anyone has a link to a point of view or video of someone else riding the technical downhill trail in cascades?
On a more general note, is there a list of good youtube vids of ie manly dam and other trails around NSW that is worth watching? If not, perhaps this thread could start a list of good vids. I want to see how the pro's handle the tracks I ride and see how I can improve.
Cheers,
Kris
Thanks!
Went for a quick ride today at the Dam to check the race bike was ok ahead of the fling.
Lap 1 went well, 30:xx mins (including a bit of traffic).
Lap 2 was going well ... Until - the second creek crossing! Warning - there is a tree down on the left of the track, I cut it a bit close, the branches whipped my bars around. 11 stitches in my chin, 3 large grazes on my arm, and 1 front wheel so bent it won't turn within the forks! Walked the bike to Allambie heights and got home from there.
Sydney trails overlayed on google maps.

I made this for personal use because I was tired of checking for trails to only find out they are well over an hour away. After making it I figured someone else might find it useful. This has the name, nobmob link, and meeting point from the trails in the northern beaches, blue mountains, and sydney north, south, and west. Some trails are not listed because they lack a meeting point or something else.

NSW State Forests Total Fire Ban no closures
FYI,
While there is a total fire ban in place today in all NSW State Forests, they remain open for mountain biking, confirmed by phone call this morning with State Forest head office.
This said, if you are heading out for a ride in a State Forest today it might pay to check first just in case they decide to close one or more forests at short notice.
Mind you it's so bloody hot I can't imagine it would be very nice riding around anyway.
Broken Collarbone on Oaks
Grant Shatford I headed up to Woodford on Sunday to film me for the new Oaks TrailFlix video.
About 7km in (just after St Helena junction), we came across two guys walking their bikes. I asked what the issue was, and expecting a broken chain etc, one bluntly replied “broken collarbone.“

Following the recent conversation about overtaking…manners and common sense…
Just a quick post to ask bike riders to call out to dog walkers and horse riders that they are approaching - most don't hear bikes coming.
If you call out it gives the people time to gather their dogs out of your way and prepare their horses for your approach.
If you think a wallaby can do damage to a rider then imagine a one tonne creature with its own brain who moves very fast and can kick.
Whistler Bike Park vs Rotorua
Hi guys, can anyone who has been to any of these two places for mountain biking, give me the plus & minus's of the places. I am trying to plan a trip to either, your help & advice would be appreciated.
