There is heap of different areas to ride in Adelaide and being a small town, you dont have to travel that far for somwhere to ride. Have a look at kranked 4, super heros 3, NWD 3 and any of the volatile visions videos to what type of riding we have.

 

[lotec]

cool, thanks guys

The Belair shuttle runs are very popular. But we aren't a state that is spread out as far as other states, so a 1 hour drive from the city will get you most places. Just choose street or dirt.
Plus when the government bodies & National parks finish squabbling there is this park:

Also as stated Zoli documents many of our local places in his Volatile Visions productions. I am also led to believe that he had a major part in the construction of the the Pultney Str ( right next to the city)bmx trails: beginner, intermediate & downright scary Advanced.

A 10 minute ride thru town is a concrete payground:

i dont believe the web cam is currently running. But it may be unhappy or having a technical glitch.

All crew also have their own fav's too so these you'll see only with riders who will escort you there.
Hope this assists a bit lotecsiriusconcept

Where abouts in Adelaide are you moving to?

does anyone on here have the internet without taking there horse and cart to melbourne

Gee wizz man, you do know Adelaide is a major city, not some out-in-the-middle-of-no-where stank hole. When we need to use technology, we don't need to travel interstate to do so. We are a small city (when compared with Melbourne and Sydney), but we have pretty much everything you could possibly want bike wise.

I suggest you try and use sentences in your next post too. I had no idea what you were saying half the time!

I had a quick check of the webcam @ city sk8 . It's still down. But if you try the 360 degree virtual tour you will get an idea of some lines. Also worth considering - this is half of the concrete payground ( sic ), as an equal size park to this has been created along side, since the virtual tour was comissioned. Food for thought.

For alternative trails & fellow punters views. Although you probaby have been to this trail database b4 ,for areas close to your home.

the DH over here is 'heaps good'
im in Belair at the moment and the train shuttles you back up (apart from when the train nazi doesn't let you on!) The DH scene over here seems to be quitebig with atleast 30 kids on the train yesterday.
Today we headed off to Fox Creek (place where nationals are held, 4 tracks in total) which was a mere 45min drive from the hills.
