Yeah Tassie so hard up for decent MTB trails the nation weeps for you !Yeah, that's awesome. Wish we could build that in Tassie, just so much more red tape here.
Well we don't have a multi day epic like any of the NZ ones and Tassie is a good a place as any in Australia to build oneYeah Tassie so hard up for decent MTB trails the nation weeps for you !
What else are you going to do with $12M except buy a metric shit tonne of det cord?Yeah look, that looked like a bunch of hillbillies with a big budget just fucking up the forest. Explosives? Chainsawing trees three feet round? Having your oily excavator wash away and it’s diesel run down a watercourse? Was thing built by cons? I love that they mention the native wildlife at the start then proceed to make a big fucking mess of the place. The irony......
I’ve built some trails in my time and helped on big projects but nothing I’ve seen requires that much effort, certainly not to the point of blowing shit up to make a green grade bike track. Shame on them.
I don't know diddly about constructing anything, but I do know that the best way to protect natural wilderness areas is to build public support for them. If that trail attracts a bunch of mountain bikers who in turn throw money at a local community then its probably doing a lot more then a bunch of angsty greenies.Yeah look, that looked like a bunch of hillbillies with a big budget just fucking up the forest.

I’ve a few ideas that might be more fun........What else are you going to do with $12M except buy a metric shit tonne of det cord?

buy your own chopper which you get to keep after trail is built to drop you & your mate +bikes into location no one else can rideWhat else are you going to do with $12M except buy a metric shit tonne of det cord?
how can the trail last/survive that punishment...i wonder when it opens?Also, note the average rainfall is 7m per year and up to 500mm can fall in a single event
WA has the Munda Biddi https://www.mundabiddi.org.au/about 1000km people do travel here to ride it, not sure it's quite as spectacular as NZ rides or one would be in Tassie.Well we don't have a multi day epic like any of the NZ ones and Tassie is a good a place as any in Australia to build one
There are other trails in the area already, it opens towards the end of the year apparently.how can the trail last/survive that punishment...i wonder when it opens?
