Thanks dude. I did check out Goat Farm but I don't think they have any DH tracks.

Yeah, the Goat Farm's push runs only. In terms of shuttles in Perth there's Mundaring, (map location). The tracks are just after the weir if you're coming from the Kalamunda direction, look for the big fluoro turn signs. For downhill, Peel Districts is the club to check out.

Cheers,
Wes

Thanks dude will scout it out. Went past there going to lunch. Is it near where that big pipe? I live smack bang in the City so I'm not sure which side I would come from

I'd say yes but that big pipe goes all the way to Kalgoorlie so it's not really a great reference. From the city you'd probably be going Gt Eastern Highway (past the Goatfarm) and then coming up the hill via Mundaring which is the other way (it'll be on your right). If you hit the weir you've gone too far.

Alright sick dude. Thanks for all the info. Do you go riding much up there? Any good rock gardens, berms, jumps? And how big do you reckon the track is?

I haven't been on the bike for far too long (although holidays are almost upon me so that could change) but there's generally a good scene up there on Sundays. There's quite a few runs down the hill, think they're all pretty much under two minutes, maybe three. There's a decent collection of berms and jumps but not a lot in the way of rock gardens.

Oh yeah that's cool. Might have to hit up after the trip back home to Wollongong.

I am also unsure of how to get to the DH tracks is there anyway to show via google maps or anything?
