#27

We need more details for the 18th, need to know what run off we have, after last sundays effort at Jells Park I was nearly into the trees due to lack of run off.

#28

With all due respect . If you cannot get yourself to a sesh due to the fact that you are to young to take your turn at driving !!!
Please don’t clog this post with idle chit chat.
There are plenty of forums for chit chat but not this one !!!
Pre recrusits:
1:Drivers licence
2:Full leathers
3:Close face helmet
4:Board that can go f…ing fast
5:cash for fuel new runs won’t be found without a lot of driving
End rant. Later :wink:.
“Bloody GROMETS” 8) :laughing: :wink:

gotta get the melburn downhill sessions going again! we’ve been spoilt with hills and the lack of cops here back in asia. we bring back much wisdom with us!

#32

How about Westerfolds park for a session some time? Looks good on the map and is apparently a good spot but I’ve never been. Keen to get out on some good paths rather than dice with death on the roads.

#33

Westerfolds has some wicked runs, all down from the house on the templestowe side, would be good sliding.

A short steep bit near the yarra bidge end as well

#34

anyone interested in light DH we have regular sessions on both sunday and tuesday nights in the CBD, 7pm at fitzroy gardens on either sunday or tuesday nights meeting up near the cafe, lots of fun little runs that max out at about 50kph and 800m long, perfect for learners and fun for more experienced guys who freeride
