Yeah, Kentlyn MTB trails, Sydney.

Hell yeah that’s actually close

Check it out, plenty of good stuff there!

Thanks mate! Was a great morning, the best therapy!

Yeah, it's a bit disjointed. Do you use Trail Forks to help? Most of the trails there are marked on the map.

@@BikesnLikes yeah i had no choice to use trail forks, still hard to find where the trail starts 😂

Haha yep agreed. It's very rewarding, though, once you've been a few times and know your way around. I always have this problem first time I check out new trails. Almost feel like the first time is a waste of time hahah.

Yeah, some really chunky stuff in my area. Really satisfying when you can hit it fast.

Haha yep the free ride line is struggling a bit! Thanks!

Awesome! I hope you have fun. A lot of options out there if you take the time to look around. Red is the fastest after all!

Thanks mate! Nice work on the ladder Drop!

Hey, sorry mate, I won't be heading that way this weekend. Hit me up on insta and we might be able to tee something up.

Thanks, my jumping is getting better. I would love to do the big ones there one day. Keen to see this new trail.

Sorry, I don't use Apple maps. Do you know where the trails are and just looking for trail head? Or somewhere to park?

@@BikesnLikes haven’t tried it yet but I wanna explore that area in gong. By any chance are you guys going to ride there again?

I'll ride there again for sure, but don't know when. Have a look at heat maps on strava and you'll see the trails. These trails are on the escarpment at Tarrawanna in Wollongong. I parked at end of Doonan Place.

Yep, there are some areas that hold up well, but most of the fun stuff gets hit pretty hard by the rain.

Yeah, it got me good. I was looking past it to the next obstacle, so it took me by suprise.

Don't crash?

Actually when going that fast you don't really fall you more slide over it like it's ice

Thank you for watching and the kind comment!

Thanks for watching! It's nice to know people actually enjoy them, haha. Any good trails in the shire you know of that I have missed? I know there are still some out at Woronora Heights that I still haven't ridden. I've ridden the rock roll a bunch of times and I'm still always a little nervous rolling up to it...

Yep, it was one of my favourites. The rain has absolutely wreaked havoc out there. Still some good stuff that has held up though, it just a shame because you end up riding the same stuff over and over.

The Savilles trail was a river the weekend after the rains. Takes a long time to dry.

Yep, I was about 2 weekends after the rain I think, and Savilles still has some very wet sections.

I actually lost control about 5 meters before I crashed. Was trying to hang in there, but then, the front wheel slid on that tree root.

Thanks good to be back!

Are you referring to the step up at the end? If so, yes, it's definitely dumbed down a little. The bridge before it is a nice addition, though.

@@BikesnLikes yes, definitely the step up. I worked hard to clear that with the risk involved. Achieving that had improved my skill as a rider, so I guess I'm glad I overcame that gap before it was filled in. I also felt that before the bridge was an additional obstacle you had to overcome but that is a minor part. I also don't want to complain as the trail fairies at Mill Creek are freakin' awesome in the donation of their time. Complex paradox

@@bodo_mtb agreed. I was very happy with myself the first time I cleared the stepup.

Strava says I was slow, so I'm blaming the tyre! Haha! Always good to get tips on new lines. Keeps it fresh!

@@BikesnLikes I dont trust Strava so much anymore 🤟

Thanks mate!

This was on Friday. Trails were fine, and 'Hit the Turps' was just dry enough (border line but should be good now).

Its pretty good! I'm lucky to be local to here.

Thanks mate! Should be able to get back to some proper riding finally, after the rain clears up.

Thanks mate, glad you like it!

Thanks, mate! I'm usually ok with the flats as long as my shock setup is ok. Was going well that day, too, but I started a stupid habit of pedaling the last second before jumps. Just need to learn to bail if the run-in isn't right and try again. The Kenevo is great but im sure the range is great too! Shoulder is getting better. Probably still got another 3 weeks recovery at least though but it should be fine. Ruptured the Bursa sac and tore a muscle.

Hey, this clip is not the trail that i was calling the 'pro line', its later in the linked video... however... that one is also a little bit of a stretch to call 'pro' it just doesn't have a name, and I had heard others refer to it as that.

Thanks for building them, mate! They are mostly quite run down but still fun and ridable. Some newer ones out there, though, i think, so some people are keeping it alive.

@@BikesnLikes I've noticed a few new ones that I haven't recognised. Top soil, nature boys and snake trail (just further up from topsoil on the right) were always pretty popular I think mostly because it was an easier time pushing back up to do runs if you just stuck to certain sections. There were some awesome tracks off mannikin drive that I think don't really exist anymore - except for one up the far end that's kinda turned into a walking track to the river.

I haven't tried any of the trails on Mannikin side yet. Was planning on checking them out next time I ride there.

@@BikesnLikes have a look around sandpiper too and the fire tail that runs along the main road going in. Might find something in there

Thanks mate! Rock trail was the first one I rode out there. Lots of cool features on it. It's definitely worth a look around elsewhere, though. There's lots of great stuff out there.

Sure thing! I think you'll like it.

Thanks mate!

So true

Hey mate, did you comment on the wrong video? I just uploaded 3 shorts at once of different trails. I'm pretty sure I've seen you ride this one (magic carpet) in one of your videos.

@@BikesnLikes correct you are. Too prolific for me to keep up with 🤟🤣

@@malmtb 😆

I tried to put a pedal stroke in at the last second, and there was a sandy patch at the base of the ramp. The bike squirmed in the sand, and my foot slipped off the pedal. I should have had a better look at the run-in and had a few more goes to check speed.

Thanks mate! Yes, I am running GX AXS upgade kit. I absolutely love it. The only downside is the initial price, and obviously, it's $$$ if you break it.

Thanks mate! Shoulder is pretty bad atm but havnt got it scanned yet so not sure on future.

Probably still got about 3 weeks recovery to go. Ruptured the Bursa Sac and tore a muscle. Not actually that bad all things considered.

@@BikesnLikes i had to google what a bursa sac is 🙂, thats a bummer, finger cross you can start riding in 3 weeks. Im heading to Narooma in 3 weeks then back to Shedbo. My lower back still sore from that crash 3 months ago. Good luck mate, hope u get back on the bike soon.

Haha, I didn't know what it was either until now. It hurts when you smash it, haha. Narooma looks cool, i'll have to check it out at some point. Was that your crash at Boomers? You didn't seem to make too much fuss. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much grief moving forward.

@@BikesnLikes the crash was at Thredbo this year, it’s been 3 months, and my back still sore, lucky it doesn’t hurt when I ride. 😊
