I'd tend to agree........
Having been back to Buller this year for my annual Summer trip, it completely shits me that they need to add that crappy loose gravel. Yes i know it just exposes my lack of ability to hold speed in loose corners, but seriously? Its like trying to take a corner over loose ball bearings at speed.
I tend to agree with Mywifesirrational, the track is just becoming worse as the seasons push on. Either way, I have fun. I am 48yrs old, still ride both Abom and International, and in my mind I am going flat out. Its only when the weekend punter passes me on a fully rigid kmart bike do i consider selling the bike and buying shares.
Anyway, yeah Buller is fun and is a WASTED resource. So many opportunities for DH, Gravity style tracks. Ill stick closer to Melb from now on. Maybe they need to take the survey from people leaving the Mtn, not from when they are entering?
