    VIC ********* Warburton MTB Trails Update *********** PLEASE READ **********

    That's gotta be the first time I've ever heard anyone complain about too many trails haha. Why is too many a bad thing? The feature argument I don't really understand either, seems we have plenty of tracks with flat stuff. I like lots of features to get the flow happening. But that's...

    What is wrong with their style? Just curious as they've gifted us some pretty nice runs: Hero (RIP), Black Hill, Harcourt, Mt Taylor and probably more I can't think of.

    Recommend me an AM bike around $3.5k

    (Vic) Red Hill Gravity Enduro

    +1 That's a pretty wild entry fee for no shuttles. You Yangs MTB seem to be able to run the Cressy race cheaper with shuttles (not to mention unlimited snags).

    Couldn't agree more. I've also gone through two 160/170mm beasts myself, only to opt for bikes with less travel later on. I think you'd want something that accelerates quickly as there's not a lot of high speed sections at the places you want to ride. Can't speak for Buller though, I've...

    Just throwing in my two cents - I think for the riding you've described a 140mm-150mm trail bike would be ideal. Maybe even less travel. I've done a fair bit of riding at the first three spots you've mentioned and found my 2017 remedy is more than enough to handle them. I think if I were...

    Buying a bike in whistler vs aus

    I would definitely buy one here and take it over there. You can find really good specials at bike shops here whereas whistler tends to be strictly retail prices. I didn't see any discounted rigs apart from beat up ex demo wilsons, glorys etc. this year. Plus it's heaps easier to worry about...

    Argyle 318 vs '08 DJ1s

    Hello Farkiners, I am confronted with a bit of a pickle... I'm looking for a pair of new forks and have narrowed my options down to the argyle 318 or the 08 Dj1s. I have not ridden either of these forks so i have no idea what they feel like, although i do understand that the argyles have...
