    Thredbo - all you need to know

    Top to Bottom Thredbo Flow 1st vid ive seen, not the best quality, but hey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCw2t5D_SBI Looks slowish most likely due to new trail and the ground not being packed in yet, however he doesnt seem to pedal much at all top to bottom, second half looks faster.
