So heres the lowdown, rode buller for the first time yesterday and got quite frustrated with the massively rutted out sections on ABOM, there are quite a few sections that i stopped and looked at and decided the only way to deal with them is hang off the back and cop the hits.
there are also some great sections that you can get though heaps faster just by selecting better lines.
International was better while gnarly and rocky its pretty much all intentional.
I really enjoyed some of the fast rough/rocks/root sections.
on the trip home had abit of a whinge and got abit of a harden up rutted out rough track is what DH is.
My favorite places to ride have been more flowing berms and hits. with a few rough sections.
EG Cressys at youyangs.
top section of kingas.
valley run at maldon. or the run off the back of the mountain which i dont know what its called.
melon track - mt major
Should I then packup the DH rig in favor of a mid travel AM/FR bike? eg a bottlerocket, spec. pitch. GT distortion.
allowing me to ride both the mountain stuff i enjoy and able to take the wife out on some single track.
Or stick to the DH bike knowing eventually Im going to get my flow on and ride the super rutted and rough stuff fast.
