Wow just fu@/!$g wow.
The town and the trails.. we absolutely loved every moment in Queenstown, Tasmania.
THE TOWN:
What a friendly community Queenstown has. From the welcoming, friendly staff at the local coffee shop (JJs coffee) to the awesome hosts at the caravan park. Some towns we visited during our Tassie trip didn’t have that friendly vibe. We found the rad people of Queenstown to be extra welcoming and happy towards people that have traveled to the town to experience the new mountain bike trails. Every time I would come down from a ride there were multiple town folk asking how it was, and they were stoked to hear I was loving it.
THE TRAILS:
Scary…………
But so sick, it’s just totally different from anything I have experienced on two wheels. The epic views would take over my whole vision and I would find it hard to concentrate on the trail in front of me. After a couple of days I started to get over that overwhelming sensation and got into more of a groove. The terrain is super skatey and you can actually feel all the rocks sliding around under your tyres. The trail makes some crazy sounds as random rocks would roll down the mountain next to you as your trying to slide your bike into a less deadly situation.
Then there’s Natural Selection. The new double black diamond trail that takes off from close to the top of Mount Owen. I think this was the funnest and scariest trail I have ever ridden. Steep, loose and technical. It’s a must do for anyone looking to test themselves on a trail that is totally unique to any other.
Cheers Queenstown!!!!!

[@brewed544]

Brake component's must cop an absolute floggin down those goat tracks. Such an awesome journey through epic country, GREAT WATCH!

[@chrisbennett5796]

Great riding from you and Megan. Reading the trail skills are not optional. It’s the combination of steep and the loose rocks that would have me saying “no thanks, too much for me”. Well done!

[@mashmtb]

That looks unreal, Awesome edit! Queenstown just made it to the top of my ride list. Thanks!

[@mid_life_mtb]

That place looks wicked, thanks for taking us there Froff!

What crazy trails Froffer, nice work. They're going on the bucket list now!

I'd put it as the last item, or maybe just before "Dive with sharks without a cage" 😁

Literally drove past this trail yesterday on a quick tour with the gf, and i gotta say after seeing it you're off your head mate! Its ridiculous how steep it is! Well done, Froff!

[@Froff]

[@Froff]

Cheers mate!! Such a sick trail 🔥

[@longandwinding]

Trails and scenery looks absolutely insane! Great vid

[@longandwinding]

Is this a trail bike location, or do you think my Scalepl SE would do ok?

[@Froff]

Thanks Hamish! It’d probably do OK on Waterfall, but not sure about the rest. I’m sure you could make it work 😜

[@Hollole_Media]

Looks insane!

Sick dude. Hanging to get to Tassie

[@bike_somm]

That was wicked fun 🤩

Extremely entertaining froff dog! That was nuts! Love your vids dude…. No bullshit, just genuine Stoke👌🏼 Riding that trail with no gloves🤯 and Megan clipped in🤯. Sick🤘🏼

[@Froff]

Thanks heaps Jules! Really appreciate that

[@geekman1234]

I'll be there next month! Looks so hectic, think I'll need more than 1 spare pair of pads

[@Jackoson833]

This made me so excited and so scared. Keen to ride them next week!

[@Froff]

You should be scared Jacko 😝

[@cutlaps]

These trails are freakin wild man!!! Awesome

[@Froff]

Such a sick spot. Cheers mate

[@madnessbrah]

Okay. This place has flown a little under the radar for me planning my Tassie trip, but I think I'll be adding it for sure. Cannot wait for March.

[@Froff]

Sick dude!

[@madrapperdave]

One of the best mtb vids I've seen. Will def need to add Queenstown to my dream Tassie trip!

[@Froff]

Thanks so much David, really, REALLY appreciate your comment mate.

[@edwardclough105]

Looks sick, will need to check it out

Just draggin the rear tyre all the way down. Sounds heaps fun.

[@Sportilium]

That's a brilliant trail and fantastic video mate. And the Views!! Loved every minute of it. Really need to get there. Was fantastic when Megan was out front, gave you a much better perspective of how tricky the trail is. Well ridden by both of you. How were the wrists at the end of it all?

[@Froff]

Aw thanks heaps mate! The wrists weren’t too bad surprisingly! Would love to see some Sportilium Queenstown footage soon 😎

[@brendan1]

Yikes! You can tell how steep it is from the sound of the tires skidding on the gravel. Looked super loose too.

[@drjasper100]

My god this was great to watch.. I lived there in the early 90’s.

[@Froff]

Thanks mate

Oath!!

[@Antonymous01]

Ha! Didn’t think I’d come across this on the interwebs! You’re absolutely right, the camera hides just how steep it gets! See ya when you’re down next!

[@Froff]

Dude!! Hahaha I didn’t think I’d come across you on the interweb! Nice meeting you mate, can’t wait to get back!

[@robalexwar]

Knowing West coast weather Ihave to say you had a great day for it. If that trail is blue I'm walking 🤣

man you could easerly loose a kneecap on this trail. ronny burns (the surfer) lost his life in Hawaii on a dirt bike trail hitting a rock with his knee and bleeding out......that fact makes this decent of yours legendary and highlights what a level this track really is....

[@EscarHolmez]

Riding loose gravel trails without gloves is one way to increase your pucker factor. :P

[@robhaskins3068]

Natural Selection is something else. I'll have to toughen up a bit for a few weeks at Derby first and wear the full body helmet with armholes. You did well to keep your skin intact. I really like your chat and style of video. Scary big loose terrain deserves respect. No jackass headbanging soundtrack a plus . Definitely a place to swap to your E=Mtb² for the climbs.

[@Froff]

Thanks a lot Rob! I love a bit of headbanging music but I try to leave it out of the edits 😂 good luck for your ride 👍

[@robhaskins3068]

@@Froff New Shredwater ck track at Railton/Sheffield looks worth a visit and new tracks at Georgetown 👍👍before you go home.

[@Azazel518]

Great trail..but I think I'd be wearing gloves!

[@Bithu]

Looks epic! Come ride in WA if you want to experience a lack of grip :p our pea gravel is sensation. Don't have any mountains big enough for the exposure, but the little elevation we have we make the most of

[@Froff]

Yeah mate first time I ever went mountain biking was in Kalamunda. Sounds like there’s a lot more trails around now though. Keen to get back over there.

[@Bithu]

@@Froff it's exploded here in the last 2 years

[@scoobsm6994]

Great setting, view and trail length drop! Top rocky section and the creek crossings look great, flowy bermy sections, meh. Drop it down into the gully next to it would be wicked. More techy single trail ftw!

[@Froff]

Yeah dude!! I think the gully actually turns into a waterfall haha so that would be interesting.

[@janjayed]

Need to work out how to fit this into my Tassie trip in a few weeks

[@Froff]

Would highly recommend squeezing it in!

[@BlueyChandler]

Good camera positioning. Made good viewing.

[@Froff]

Cheers mate.

[@dimsoneill]

Looks like you scored with the weather mate. West coast rarely that hospitible weather wise.

[@Froff]

Very lucky mate

[@faew1ld]

Not the Queenstown I was expecting when it comes to MTB (Didn't know there was another place called that tbh lol) but wow it looks awesome!

[@Froff]

same name, but totally different. Such a wild ride 👌

[@pgoindi]

Awesome trail name (Natural Selection). Great job on the sound balancing of the your video. What is rule #2 if #1 is "Don't die"?

[@Froff]

Thanks so much mate, I put a lot of time into the audio and I’m never 💯 satisfied 🤯 love editing it though. Rule #2 have a sick time.

[@johndarcey]

Holy shit 😂😂😂 hectic!

[@Froff]

So sick 👍

[@mileshurtauthor]

Great thumbnail!

The trail in the picture is called the North Owen Descent. Rode it last week, it's pretty good fun! A nice change from most other trails.

[@brendankrieger4274]

Looks sick definitely need to get there myself

[@Froff]

Such a rad spot 👌

[@Nico-kt4st]

This looks amazing thanks, how you reckon a well spec'd hardtail would go out there? Also is that an Orbea you're riding?

Thanks mate! I’m sure you can make that work! Yeah mate Orbea Rallon 🤙

Gloves are good...try em.

[@Johnsmithabcde]

Hey man can you do a video of what you carry with you for each ride?

[@Froff]

Yeah man I’ll try to put it in an upcoming video soon!

[@donaldridley7826]

Queenstown is chasing Derby for the MTB dollar. I drove through Queenstown a few weeks ago, still a ghost town. I expected more MTB based shops and people riding bikes. I think I saw one bike on a roof rack. I hope Queenstown takes off because it needs a draw card. For Tasmanians it’s too far away, they don’t like to travel more than an hour or so. They’ve built it but It’ll be interesting to see if tourists come.

[@Froff]

I really hope it takes off there too mate. The trails are so unique. We also had a really fun time in town. The locals where very accomodating to me and my family.

[@dallasdrew2390]

I cant believe you dont wear gloves! Those sharp rocks will slice your hands open real quick if you hit the deck.

[@jmanjman6548]

Looks almost as rocky as Nerang

😂 Nerang looks amazing

Is Maydena next?

[@Froff]

Not sure mate, I did ride there but didn’t get a whole lot of footage 🤦‍♂️ Will what I can put together

[@davidwhite9817]

Shit Yeah!!

[@seeza]

Go mtb they said, no cars to worry about.

[@manfirebirdF350]

no legs to climb?

[@richardkaz2336]

Viewing the trail from the riders POV says nothing about the trail other than it's dry and up high . It isn't until there's a ride in front that you get a sense of the steep decent, the rocks and drops and just how loose it is.

[@Froff]

Yeah for sure mate!!

[@Lucas-ke6gt]

Way too much stones for my taste. But it looks epic.

[@Froff]

Haha it’s very skatey

[@spookygamer2.085]

Um Queenstown is in Queensland not in Tasmania but awesome video

[@Froff]

🤔

[@666theninja]

Why it's Called the Rugged West Coast.

[@Froff]

Rough and rugged 😀

[@keirfarnum6811]

Why are you guys riding without gloves? When someone falls, they tend to put their hands out. When I was riding, I never went without gloves; never mind how slick sweaty hands get. And getting shuttled up?! Half of mountain biking is the climb up.

[@Froff]

You can’t climb to the top of these trails it’s a private shuttle road and there’s no climbing trail.

I look forward to a future where folks cease adding music to vids, especially ones in nature, or any real world experiences. 1. I prefer to listen to the sounds accompanying the visuals. 2. Not interested in being forced to listen to other's playlists. 3. If I wanna listen to music, logically, I'll listen to my playlists, and not watch YT vids for my music consumption. 4. Imagine the time saved during vid editing of not looking for music or adding it in.
