ohhh man. You blokes sound like brand new arrivals from Pommyland LOL. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
yes we are lucky to have such deadly animals in Australia. But people these days seem to have no Idea about how to behave around those tiny deadly creatures.
If you come across a snake while hammering along some single track....for christ sake dont stop. keep going. try to bunny hop it or at least if thats not poss. lift your front wheel so if you hit it with your back wheel & it spins around it might just be too late to hit your leg. Of course toatlly avoiding it would be Ideal.
and don't go barefoot....when going for a pee in the middle of the night. or lie in that lovely long grass. I'm amazed how many peolpe you seen theses days camping, running around barefoot or thongs in grassy areas or they pick up things without turning the arounfd first.
jmcavoy. youre scaring the crap out of people. LOL. err OK sure anti venom might be in short supply currently but I doubt you'll have any trouble getting it in out countrys capital. I could be wrong but it takes over 24 hrs for the funnel webb vennom to finally kill a person. its not instant or like 10 min.....
anyway. in 2010 I ran over a Brown snake on my last lap at the scott 24. Last year I hit the tail of a kangeroo. On the red lap just before Skyling at the top near the old obsevartory..... like 5am or something. just before dawn . just carrie on racing.
I love the Scott 24 & where its held. Although the cold at night sometimes is the only thing I can do without.
