It appears the development of Hornsby Quarry and Old Man's Valley into a recreational facility may jeopardise trail network we have ALL worked so hard for.
Please share the following video, and encourage all in support of mountain bike riding to make comment in the video comments section...
The information session for this potential venue (1 of 3) is:
11am Saturday 5th November 2011
Stringybark Ridge, Schofield Parade, Pennant Hills

This possible future facility is surrounded by high youth...
Did this sketch for something and I think it looks cute. a bench seat for a mountain bike pocket park. Doubles as a technical feature that an average rider could have a go at. The longer, wider, and lower the easier.
Somebody asked for this so I figured best to share it as a resource. It's not perfect but it's a good start. This facility didn't get the upgrade we were hoping for as the NIMBY'S made a huge fuss by contacting ministers etc etc. It's in a pretty quiet remote street so maybe the location was not...

Nice trail-flow, without the steep upgrades. Thanks WSMTB!
PS: Whats the best place for hamburgers etc in Richmond? We went to the Chinese seafood shop next to Red Chicken. Chips and scallops were pretty good, hamburgers, not too bad. Any recommendations?
A man was arrested today for building a dirt jump on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The man was stopped by police while working on the approach. The police arrested the man and carted him away. The man was heard yelling "But I need to fix the lip!", "Get some water", and "Wait till the transition...
What are some of the best legal XC trails within 1-2 hours drive from Domana?
I'm in Sydney and am thinking of taking XC bike when visiting a friend around that way...
This thread is going to be a bit of a log for my learning of riding pump tracks. I will be scouring this forum for posts with tips etc. So it's not like it's a 'how do i pump thread', but if people want to chuck a tip in I won't complain.
First, a bit about about me:
Grew up on bikes as a kid...
Join: http://hsmba.info/user/register and send an email to HSMBA with a subject such as "yes to pump track" if you are willing to help design/build/maintain it. Unlike the photo below, dirt is involved.
Cheers!

We want MTB incorporated more within the design. We need a MTB link to go from Hornsby, down to the Fire Trails in the valley. This is THE ideal location to get...
Saw a message on a noticeboard at Westleigh shops "Found Mens Mountain Bike". Phone number is on there.
I rang it and they said it's a Shwinn (sp?) black and silver or something and looks new. Was dumped in some bush.
I'd possibly dump it in the bush too instead of be seen riding it.. but it...
It's good to dream..
All I need is several million dollars and it could become a reality.
Do you have a few lazy millions so we can buy some land and build it?
We can charge people to ride it and once we have enough $ we could replace the timber ramp with a chairlift, or tunnel to the centre...

Well I think a pump track would be great.
I'm interested to hear from anybody who has good info relating to the design of a pump track. Especially if somebody in the area has a real passion for a pump track in particular or if there have been decent pump tracks previously built. Would be good...
Hi,
I'll be flying to Gladstone and Maroochydore for work in March. I can spend a day at one (only) of these places and check out the trails while there. Which place (Gladstone or Maroochydore) has a better network of XC Trails?
Thanks for your info and help.
Anybody have a link to a trail map? Thinking of taking the bike next time I fly to Brisbane. They look great in the photos etc I could find on the net.
