Go to Illanbah... They have some good tracks, me and my friend occasionally go, like every 3/4 weeks
I wouldn't recommened it unless were there to show you it to you but if you go up and over the hill to the right, down the gully then up again there's some sweet northshore.

shouldnt be at illinbah out of race's unless your doing track maintinance.
theres locks on the front gate and on the shuttle road anyway, so pretty pointless unless you can get a key.

Mate if we ever find you and your mate there without permission, I can promise you that you will be charged with trespassing. The sign at the gate should be enough to warn you of illegal entry. This land is on private property and the last thing the Gold Coast Club need is idiots upsetting the owners.

Thanks for clarifying that up. I was hoping you were talking about the Social Days. We've had problems in the past of people trying to ride without permission and we have to do what we can to keep the owners happy. I know its hard for all mountain bikers to find a DH track to practice on and considering we produce some really good riders in this country, it amazes me how we can be so good when we don't have anywhere to ride that's not private land. Just been overseas and the amount of mountain bike parks is amazing. I wish the council could do the same for us.

Hey Steven,
I may or may not see you at the DH session, I am buying a new bike so if you do see me give us a shout, i May/May not be riding an 07 scott High Octane with 888's... (depends on the mood dads in :))
Yeh, I was talking about the social days, When i ment me and my friend.. What i really ment was just my friend... He has his own DH track which is about a 3 min run which is actually quite similar to Illanbah, I only know this as i have watched the videos of RD.. 3 i think it was of the sunshine series,
You know i really hope dads in a good mood as I can't get enough of downhill and i even stay awake at night thinking about riding!
Anyways if you do see me the bike is white/red and i might be with the beginners :D
Thanks Jordan
