MAD ??? yes
Shuttle Day pickup point track is about 5km long
Yes it is open to the public but it doesn't get ridden very often because the access vehicle track is rough in places and it's a long shuttle (long ride, long shuttle).

Takes around 20-25min to drive from the pickup back up to the start of the DH track

Only a week and a half to go guys. A number of you have registered your interest but not paid. Remember, spots are limited and it's first in best dressed. Once you send in your entry and make payment your spot is secured. Some spots are secured but a bunch of others aren't secured yet. Just thought I'd let you all know. Hate for someone to miss out for the wrong reason. Remember....it's a 5km course riding DH...bring it on !!

After reading the linked info Just what exactly does strong intermediate skills mean? Can't see the video at work, Haven't ridden Beauty or Thredbo but spend a bit of time at the You Yangs, Red Hill in Mornington, Kinglake, Narbethong and Granton. Have been to shuttle days at the Yangs and Apollo bay and had a bunch of fun, Is it fucking brutal? 10ft hucks? Am I gonna eat shit? I mean there's good riders then there's fuckin good riders, and I may be neither but I'll get down.

hey man, seriously, dont stress. mt stanley is well worth the drive, love that track. There is nothing that's rediculous, the rock garden is pretty nuts, but many walk it the first few runs. other than that, its just another dh track, with a few faster wide sections and a bit more distance...

Exactly.....if you can ride all those tracks ok you're fine. We're just pointing out that the course is not suitable for downhill beginner riders that's all. Sure the rock garden is hard and some choose to walk some of it at first but the rest is fine. No big hucks or massive gaps. It's all good. Cheers, Paul
