Joined the forum tonight after searching Dannys name again on google (missing my mate)
and found this thread.

I was a mate of Dan's, and like everyone else he made me feel like I was his best friend when in reality he was everyones best mate. He was a great guy and it is awesome to see this thread still getting hits, hopefully someone can still maintain "Shepherds DH Trail" as he would have done back in the day.

Sorry to hear man, I guess its good that you still think about him and we have this trail named in his honor to keep those thoughts alive as a legacy of his achievements. If I have my way this trail will over time become one of the best DH trails and areas in our state.

Just wondering if any one has rode or knows of anyone that has rode that massive rock face on the shuttle rd at king lake.
I haven't been there in a while but it has been in the back of my mind for ages.

Hahaha awesome to know that it has been done, will deff have another good look at it next time I'm out there possibly this wknd. Might bring a shovel just in case it need a little love at the bottom where it meets the rd and hope I'm not going warp spleen so I don't fly off that next cliff. Lol will have to wear my big girl panties and hopefully don't bitch it like last time hahah

Was the mention of spleen a typo? Or a glimpse into the future of what you might leave at the bottom of the rock face?

I'm keen for a ride this Saturday if anyone wants to join me. It's always better if shuttling happens. I have a bike rack and am happy to shuttle. I would also like to film this rock wall descent.

Hahah the SPLEEN was deff a typo. But thanks for imbedding that into my mind lol.
I'm already missing a few organs internally hope I don't loose another.
I think I might head out that way on the wknd not sure what day (think I might be working Saturday ) a work mate lives in King Lake and just started riding dh so want to go for a shred with him.
shiiiiit talk about putting the pressure on hahaha shouldn't of opened my mouth lol.
Think I need to give my front brake some love so IF I hit it it doesn't end up in a warp SPLEEN skid hahah.

First run down had a flat rear, didn't realise until I dropped in ha.

Bad ass bro that was sick.
The section I had in mind was the rock slab in the fore ground at the start of your vid where it's like one whole rock with out that little drop.
Dig your edits on pinkbike as we'll by the way lol

nice video, what about the section further on which is pretty technical steep.

Some of those sections have been worked out, it is generally riding pretty nice. I would have filmed more down that end but it was getting later and I didn't have much room on the SD card. Hopefully sometime soon I'll show some of those sections

Can I ask why people seem to insist on riding straight down the fall line under the power lines? Why do you like riding straight down the hill destroying your brakes?
