UpDJ is rad, as is Tombstone(?) further along the river. Both involve lots of smooth switchbacks with awesome berms that are great fun to ride. I actually enjoyed the up almost as much as the down... yeahnah
Madness! That would be very brutal.
There may be some slight underlying masochist tendencies at play.
UpDJ is only a climbing trail but you can literally rail uphill berms.UpDJ is rad, as is Tombstone(?) further along the river. Both involve lots of smooth switchbacks with awesome berms that are great fun to ride. I actually enjoyed the up almost as much as the down... yeahnah
There's a few free campgrounds within 10 minutes of the shuttle pickup location, that is if you want to take your own accommodation.
Swags and the local big 4
There's two good bike shops in Bright, Cyckepath and All Terrain Cycles. All Terrain Cycles hire out a range of specialized bikes prob best suited for the trail.
Thanks, I looked at both their sites.
There's a really cheap camping ground (with cabins) right at the bottom of Mystic Lane, where the trails come out. It's called Bright Backpackers, but don't let the name put you off...
Hired a Specialized Enduro from ATC when I was up there a week ago. Was a fun bike for riding hero trail.
Rad! How good is it. Raising the bar that's for sure.
It was very sick. I hit almost everything on offer and felt there was still plenty of room for improvement by the rider - particularly faster and bigger. A couple of the first jumps are sweet bmx feeling jumps you can trick, I think my neatest effort was merely a flying erection. There was one berm in the lower section I continually rode out of the wrong way onto what looks like an older trail or road. Will definitely be back and am hoping the responsible parties can get another similar trail or at least a few additional lines added to the mix as that would be a strong draw card for longer stays and spending more $$$. I'd also recommend a little dj/ss section in the forest at the bottom. 3 primary lines of table oriented jumped based on skill level and some funky side options would be an easy inclusion without needing to blow massive cash such as a full length trail.
Come to Thredbo's Banshee party instead!!
Well book in for the 13th and 27th of May too so we can have another Banshee party next month before BlueDirt shut up shop for the year.
