Hey I'm Tim.

I'm an Old(er) guy from Sydney. Been around a bit and now am living in Whistler BC. I work for a mountain bike adventure tour company. I'm keen to keep up on MTB in Aussie even though I am here in Canada. So thought Farkin would be a good place to keep up on things back there... I always love it seeing the Aussie riders making there way here during the summer.

Anyway, Keep on pedaling and if anyone wants personal info on Whistler I'm more than happy to give it out. Cheers.

[BurkeDog10]

ummm... bit about me...my name is jake or burkey! i live in a small country town in NSW, nowhere much to ride, we create our own tracks and stuff!
i got into bmx about 6 months ago, purely for fitness, but then i fell in love with it! although BMX is fun Down Hill looks even better and the bikes look sick!! sooo.. i scrapped BMX and i am now searching for a good 'start off' DH bike!

Cheers

[SANGER]

Hey All...
My name is Shane or sanger to my friends. Im from nowra on the south coast of NSW. I got into xc a couple of years ago and only just recently sold my GT avalanche. Now i'm riding a bit of free ride on a 06 brodie bigshot.

I'm having a go at DH at the local funnel web track and i'm having an absolute ball.

[low_rb]

Hey, Roy,26 from Qld. Benn into Bmx pretty much my whole life and its now time for a change so im going to give down hill a go after some persistance from a friend.

cheers...

[Warg]

Howdy. Tessa, SA. I've been riding on a recreational/fitness basis for a few years, recently bought a new bike and am now trying to get into... well... anything I have the proverbial testicular fortitude to attempt. Freeride is what originally caught my eye and prompted the bike upgrade.

[Aro]

Hi,

Another newbie to MTBing & fast becoming addicted, purchased a very tidy Norco Fluid 1 from the trading section on this site, check it out at http://forums.farkin.net/showthread.php?t=114254, (no idea if that will work). Anyway i'm as proud as punch. Also own a cheapie road bike that i commute on daily, best way to get around.

Looking to enter the AROC 100km enduro event down at Mogo in september, apparently there is 60km of single track! Bit nervous at the distance though as its my first race, but no guts no glory hey? Has anyone done the race last year & how hard is it?

Aro.

[ShorTaY]

You have to put an "=" after the "URL" and before the "http://....."

[wado600]

Another newbie. I'm Neil from Darwin and have taken up XC riding with doing the the odd race now and then. My goal is to compete in a 100km race and most likely it'll be the Otway Odessy.

Took up riding a couple of years ago when I weighed 107kgs and running was causing more problems then it solved plus riding is more fun. I'm still fat and unfit but thanks to the bike I am somewhat less fat and more fit.

I'm currently riding a Diamondback Topanga which despite being heavy for a XC bike has served me well but some of the parts are showing its age. Hopefully next year I plan to get a XC dually and at the moment I have my eye on the Gaint Anthem 1 and the Diamondback will be relegated from do it all bike to training/commuting bike.

[k-ris]

riding 2 wheels aint new to me. been racing bmx since i was 3 years old. its been 15 years now! made an attempt to hop onto a 4x bike back at the opening of homebush and the thredbo nationals that year. snapped a new chain in the main at homebush. had about an hours riding before racing and came 3rd riding up an age at thredbo in u19's a couple of years back. been #1 #2 and a few more in australia for bmx!

greatest acheivement was turning AApro when i was only 14!

got sponsored by a new brand UMF (which is pretty much merida) at the end of last year unfortunetly due to a crash i was out from november up untill mid april. just been training to get fit and get ready for national bmx rounds and worlds next year. My training consist of mixing my weekends up with mucking around with a few 4x mates either at a bmx track or 4x track. There now edging me on to get a 4x'er which i think ill do just after the ebeneza round!

basically i enjoy having fun i couldnt care less if its bmx or 4x guys i dont know why we get compared when everyone should be comparing themselves to our neighboring countries who dont fear what we aussies have got!

[hellmansam]

HI, I'm an old fart of 39 who got into MTB'ing back in the late 80's early 90's. Got on to Farkin to get up to speed with current bike tech and wow it's come a long way. I drifted away from the sport just when Suspension forks were starting to appear on bikes on the shop floor. Worked in a top bike shop 89-93 before getting into the mining industry.
Keen to get a new bike but not sure what flavour. Still got my 91 Shogun Team Issue Prairie Breaker ! I don't do much trail riding here because it's bloody hot and there's water buffaloes around - I'm not fit enough to outride one. They occasionally kill people when they get pissed off !

Hey guys,
Firstly, awesome site by the way - i have been using it for a while to source info as I have just gotten into DH, only took me 29 years. I was rattling around the you yangs on my Giant Rincon until i finally saved up enough dough to buy my new baby - a Norco Aline.

Anyway, now I have a new addiction and can't get enough of it. I'm having dreams about mountain biking and i have actually wagged work a couple times to head up the hill. Keep up the good work!

[_RIDECRAZYLIVELAZY_]

[Bikes Bats New Tatts]

Howdy Y'all,

I'm Tom, 25 y/o. Have just started riding again after 3 years off! I ride 50/50 between BMX Street and Free Ride/ All Mountain MTB. Can not get enough of it!

My BMX is an Intense Clutch and my MTB is a (modified) Kona Muni Mula. I realised the other day when I was doing some maintenance that the only original parts left on the Kona are the left brake lever, the bottom bracket and cranks! Hopefully I'll upgrade to a new MTB soon but am saving for a trip round the world at the mo'.

See you round the traps!

I'm fairly new to the site, i've been lurking around for a while and asking the odd question, i'm just starting to get into MTBing and lovin' it so hi to everyone.......:)

[dnation]

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum (was an inactive member previously). I've Been mountain biking for 2 years and have entered MTB XC races for fun & fitness only (not a serious racer out to beat the world). I've entered 2007 Dirtworks, 2007 Highland Fling & Scott 24hr for 06 and 07 in a team.

My bike portfolio includes a Giant TCR C1 & Giant NRS1 carbon.

I've only started to get a little bit more XC serious with mountain biking. THinking about training to do better in future races.

[kulDoctah]

Hi.
My name is Ela. I'm 31, from Warsaw, Poland. I've been lurking around Farkin for a couple of months now, I didn't really think anyone would bother to hear about me, but hey, there's the newbie section, so here I am, saying hi :)
Me and hubby ride...not sure what to call it... transport riding, a bit of fr and dh, we don't mind a bit of xc either, especially on the way to a nice descent :D Hubby used to race dh and 4x here a couple of years ago (he still does from time to time), he's not too shy about doing stuff on his bike :) and he's teaching me how to do stuff, and even though I'm pretty much a pantspisser I do have my moments sometimes :) Hubby calls what we ride 'extreme bike tourism' :D were not that much of pinners tho...:)
A couple of months ago we started thinking of moving to Australia, so I thought Farkin would be a good place to find out a bit about the country and the people and possibly make some friends and also to practice and improve my english ( feel free to correct me anytime, guess that's how I can learn :) ). We're thinking of moving in a couple of years from now, so I can finish my residency here and have the time to pass all the exams I need to be able to work in Aus, and just to organise the whole thing well.
Hoping for a nice warm wellcome, and, as I said - to make friends here :rolleyes:
Ciao.

[geekyDHgirl]

Hiya - have been lurking as an unregistered user for a while, finally registered! :D I used to race DH in the National Series back in the 90's (I had a personal favourite track called Mt Buller :p ) Was racing Sport Women/Elite women depending on the number of girls that turned up!

Left the sport completely when I took up skydiving (now I can do both :D ) and these last few months have had a hankering to get fit (read: 2 kids later lol) again and race DH - not too sure about the womens scene here in QLD now, I am living in Townsville and will probably visit the Mt Stuart race on Sunday to say gday :D

Its been a while since I knew what bike parts were hot and not - I still remember being excited about 4" of rear wheel travel and the MUDCOWs videos!!! ..woohoo :D

Cheers,

Andrea

[pathyboy]

Hi i'm pathyboy
I'm just getting back into mountainbiking and the bug has hit hard again. I used to race about 10 years ago and have been riding the last few years but nothing too serious. I like doing anything outdoors like surfing and 4 wheel driving, Anything with a bit of a rush i supose. Thought i would join up to Farken so i could get some infomation from those in the know with parts, setup and things like that. Keen to ride anything, XC, DH, dirtjumps, whatever.

Hi, feel free to peruse the rules before you post next.
Maybe by then your school teacher will have explained the relevance of capital letters, correct spelling and good grammar.
Thanks for listening and enjoy your brief stay on Farkin Airways.

[Axelerate]

Hey. I'm new to Australia, not really new to riding. But I figure that makes me a newbie down under anyway. I'm bike-less right now, but once I find one I want to get out as much as I can.
I'm living in Curl Curl. So if anyone knows where I can find information on trails / races, that'd be sweet.
I used to race downhill, but I was slow, so I fell and broke lots of stuff trying to go fast... and now I ride XC mostly and I'm still slow.
But I still love Mt. Fromme shore style, especially steep and technical.

Let me know if you live around the northern beaches and want to ride or show me around.

Also. If anyone knows a good place I can get hooked up with a hot single speed... :D

peace,

[Roj]

Hi I'm very new to riding.Have not ridden before except mucking around as a kid on a bmx! Decided to give mtb a go after trying almost every sport. I love to be fit and active.
Have been lucky enough to borrow a friends spare bike for a while to see if I like riding. Don't know what type I will prefer, but am willing to give them all a go! Suppose it's like trying before you buy!
Am going to try and get to the social rides for the area and hopefully someone will be able to give me abit of a rundown on all aspects of riding.
I'm not on the younger side of life at 34, with 3 kids, but want to be fit enough to still beat them, playing whatever sport, when they are teenagers!!

[indica]

Hi Roj, and welcome.
I have been riding for years - 35 soon - and my wife started riding downhill with me last year - she is recently 30 - we have two kids and they love to ride , although they are too young to downhill yet - 3.5 and 6 - they still have a ball playing and watching the jumps.
Have fun!

[PSM]

Well it's my first bike in a long time, equipped with a shock reminiscent of a pogo stick, but it doesn't phase me. Workmates spurred me on to try riding the Oaks with them weekly - and since I've started, it's become pretty much all I think about.

I thank the persistence of those folks daily. Thinking about buying a second bike more suitable for the type of riding I'm currently enjoying so much; the loose rocky stuff, where one can get oh so squirrely.

Greetings all - I read daily with much interest!

[Axelerate]

So where'd you used to live?

I used to live in Vancouver, BC. But then I got in some trouble with the law and had to run. So I made Bail and bought a one way ticket to Hong Kong, then hopped on a shipping tanker headed for Sydney... and now I'm here!

ok. maybe I didn't do any of that. But I am from Vancouver. I'm actually here on a student internship exchange program for 6 months.
I guess I forgot to say where I was from when mentioning the shore... my bad.

[Flanno]

Hey im Aiden. My mates call me Flanno. I live in Toowoomba and I ride dh, djs and pretty much anything. I am probably going to join the mountain bike club soon. I like playing rugby leage and also do a bit of wakeboarding. Yeh and i don't know how to use farkin very well:D

[matt.rio]

Hi,
Rio here, former roadie who now has now converted to MTB riding. I am a fan of XC and endurance racing 8hr and 24hr. Still learning many of the dirt riding skills. I'm the guy at the moment who says "I was hoping the course was going to have more straights in it"
I hope to learn more by talking with you all.
Cheers,

Hey just getting into dh and i live backing onto the mountain. jus wondering if there's any good tracks made up there? any info appreciated.

[huckerman101]

Hey guys

My names michael and i am 13 and i am extremely passionate about riding bikes. I love to do dirtjumps, 4x, downhill/freeride and the occasional street riding is fun. I have been riding for about 10 months now and am very serios about my riding. I live on the sunshine coast in Queensland and although there are some good tracks to ride and jumps i still wish there was more and i am hoping to create some this year. I ride a Giant STP2 and it is ausome for dirtjumping, street and 4x but its a bit rough for downhill and freeride but i am hopefully getting a downhill or freeride bike soon.

I also like to play rugby union and have represented the sunshine coast for under 13's.

Cheers

[princess17]

hey guys

my name is Michelle 17 i ride with my boyfriend... i ride a mongoose black diamong single that is set up for me... i ride down the tracks he does but im not that fast... im learning to do some dit jumps at the moment

[ItonezI]

gday all

I'm Tony, 25, and have just rekindled my passion of mtb (from when i was 17 hehe)
i've quit smoking as well, so i guess i'm kinda trying to lose some weight whilst i do something i'm def enjoying..

[Killbilly]

Howdy all! I've made my way here from the Western Sydney MTB site whilst googling for places to ride.

I enjoy downhill and cross country riding, even though I haven't had a chance to do much before winter set in (yes I'm a wuss when it comes to cold! :p). I'm hanging out for summer because I'm keen to find the downhill/cross country tracks around my area -Windsor/Glossodia/Yarramundi, even Penrith and the mountains.

Other things about me, I'm a musician (guitarist) and I work for a musical instrument store in Windsor doing repairs/setups and sales. My musical flavour of the moment is rockabilly. Also I'm really into my Japanese import cars and old hot rods. I own an 8th gen VR4 Galant, absolutely love it!

Looking forward to going for a casual ride with some people here sometime! I have noone to go riding with! :(

Cheers, great site!
-Paul

PS: Forgot to add I have a Giant Trance 2 ('07 I think)

[sworth66]

Hey, everyone. I'm Sean from Vancouver, Canada. I'm moving to Australia in Jan 09 for school. Will be in Gold Coast, QLD. (Miami, specifically) So I'm looking to maybe meet some people to ride with and find some trails near my future home. I ride a Devinci Frantik; I'm mostly into FR/DH type fun.

[BoDiddly]

Hey all,

New to the scene here, been checking out seabreeze dot com dot au for ages, and there aint much going on wind wise, so I thought I'd check out what's going on in the other sporting interest of mine!

Gunna do some searching around the place to check out what's going down!

Ride: Raceline Comp - 2006 model I think... I want to sell it too! Need a tough hard tail really!

Later.

[Rockhopper]

hi everyone.
I'm new to this forum and i'm addicted already! :D

My name's Chris, i ride a specialized rockhopper FSR. Just getting back into riding again after focussing on competition 4wding for a sport.:eek:
I'm looking for more tracks to ride near home (Nerang) been around the state forest a little but i'm sure there's loads of single track up there i haven't explored yet. Daisy Hill is a bit far away for a quick saturday morning blast. Can anyone point me in the right direction to the Norco Flow or Whimps tracks, i'd like to suss them out, i know they are around Nerang somewhere.:rolleyes:

Eventually I want to lean towards more urban / dirt jump stuff and get a new ride soon as the cross country - technical stuff is getting a bit old. A city run
in Brisbane on a friday sounds awesome though.;)

anyways 'nuff about me.
see you on the trails:cool:
Chris

[joelly]

Hi everbody,i use to ride a bit on the north coast of NSW when i had a norco bigfoot.Mate of mine has a specialised pitch,had a ride of it and on downhill stuff it felt so much better than a hard tail.So now im saving up for a downhill bike of my own,im thinking of spending around 2000 and as a result of this not being a lot of cash ill probably get a second hand bike.

[stack sesh]

hi, im a newbie just saying hey

[het tuig]

I'm a little idiot and i say hello to everybody!
I ride a 29-er Singlespeed and i love it.

[sammynb]

Hi all another newbie here. I've been off the bike for a while but a quick rebuild and now it's time to get back on it.
I ride a mixture of road commuting, trail and freeride on an old giant 830 frame. Fortunately that's about the only part of it that's still original.
Anyway remember be nice to your mother, see you round.

[chadc]

Newbie here. Selling and older bike and getting a new reign x1 this week. Mostly ride around the gold coast, doing cross country and the like.

[Manana]

aloa im a newbie, just getting into riding
nuts about skiing

[diskoe75]

Just a quick hello to everyone on these forums from a noob! :D
This site rocks! I love all the info one can find here........plus all the little tips and hints people post up.

Am fairly new to the MTB scene...........but have been bitten by the bug big time! Just a shame finding the spare time to do it is the hardest part about it.

Riding an 08 Giant Trance X2 at the mo..........which should hopefully help with the progression of my riding skills. ;)

[tray9000]

Another noob. I'm originally from Zimbabwe but moved to Aus in 2000. Used to do quite a bit of riding in Zim but have never ridden much here. I've been living in Whistler Canada for the past 2.5 years and fell in love with it again.
Brought back a big ol' Kona 'Freight train' (Stab Supreme) that is awesome for going downhill but not much else so looking at enjoying that for a while before switching to a more all-round ride... Suggestions are welcome

[Andres]

Hi all - used to be into riding a fair bit, but laziness got the better of me, and then eventually drifted into road riding a bit. But I think with nicer weather around the corner I'll hopefully get back into some light trail riding around the Adelaide Hills. It's really a crime to not get into the sport when there's some many great tracks so close to home. (I guess it's like living in Hawaii and not knowing how to surf! :D)

[Mav3rick]

hi everyone did a bit of light trail riding for 6 month but now i got a dualie freeride bike so its time for some real fun. if anyone is in the paddington is brisbane gimme a pm maybe we could go for a ride sometime!

[one one six]

hi all, this site is great with loads of valuable info for all types of riding, its really appreciated on my behalf to the founders of put all the hard work into it

[possum-hunter]

hi everyone, another newbie, i am intending to spend some time in Melbourne around christmas and was hoping to get some advice from some locals as to the best places for a bit of x/c riding while i am out there. i have been out several times before but only ridden Lysterfield, idealy would like some natural singletrack to ride. also any advice on the best place to rent a bike would be appreciated.
cheers.
p.s. i feel a little old after looking through some other posts!

Hello i am brendan im 15 i ride XC and i like dirt jumping and i do a little bit of DH when i can.

[hickdawg]

G'day my name is Blair,
I'm currently in East Timor with the army. So much potential for riding here its crazy, often day dream (nothing else to do here except beach, gym, dvds :D) of going rogue and living in the hills and pay the locals to build, maintain tracks and run shuttles for me all day haha.
Anyway back in Aus soon. Live in coogee so bit of a mission to go riding but usually hit it up down the gong way.
Cheers, Blair

[dave3107]

Gday all, I'm Dave, 38yrs and have been MTBing for the past couple of years, though mostly socially for fitness - no races yet. Live in Campbelltown (SW Sydney). My local track is Kentlyn (I do 90% XC, 10% mild DH) and I usually do Wed night rides (bloody D.L savings!). Have done Appin track 2-3 times but it's not my favourite. Also did Bulli on the w-end - excellent track!:p
I own an 08' XTC2 and a '08 Trance X1. I hope to have the nads to do proper DH one day, but I fear that I fear too much (started too late in life!

Cheers!!;)

[indica]

I hope to have the nads to do proper DH one day, but I fear that I fear too much (started too late in life!)


Hey Dave ... never too late to start mate.
I have just gotten my 35 year old mate into DH - no mountain bike experience.
My wife - 30 - only recently started, and I'm 35 and picking up speed now.
Give it a go.
Get to Buller or Thredbo and hire a bike when the snow melts, you'll get the taste for it!

[scott_the_grot]

G'day I'm scott from Newcastle.

I got into DH last year in whistler, and I think it's the most insane sport I've ever tried. Now that i'm back home none of my mates are into riding and i dont really know many trails around here, which kind of sucks. And I have this Norco Atomik sitting around doing nothing.....
So if any one wants to hit up some trails around newy, let me know!

[red_dust]

Hey I'm Nathan and I live in the North-West.

Hi!

I'm based in Sydney and looking to get more involved in mountain biking (trails, bits of technical - nothing too hardcore at this stage). I did a guided tour while up in Cairns on holiday and loved it - so i'm looking to grab a bike and track down some riding spots around Sydney..

Cheers!

Hi
Im from northern NSW as well but a late starter at this sport.Im 42 bit am having a ball on the local forest roads and fire trails. Im losing weight and getting great heart exercise. All I can say to all you young riders is keep it up. to avoid diabetes and heart troubles later. Dont stop when you start driving otherwise you may suffer when you get older.
(Sorry didnt mean to get on soap box)
Have fun.

Currently in QLD and have been dabbling and umming and ahhing about MTBing for so long.

Hoping to buy a decent bike sometime but I am currently getting paralysis by analysis.

[Mclovin]

Hello everyone,

Been a member for a few months, thought i should say hi!

Broke my leg 2 months ago (motorcycle accident), so with heaps of time on the couch to research the net, thought i would get back in to Mtb'ing to get strength back in my leg. Should be back on a bike within the next few months, cant wait!

Look forward to asking lots of q's ;)

Mike.

My name's Rod and cos I'm a shiftworker I get plenty of time off through the week to ride. I live real close to Lysterfield and manage to get out there around twice a week. If there's any other riders that are free during the week and wanna clock up some k's when the track's are quiet PM me sometime :)

See ya!

Lucky bugger (living close to Lysterfield). I rode there last Christmas when I was down that way. Fun tracks.

Im Aaron, 32, I live in Roleystone in the Perth hills area. Been riding for about 12 years now. I ride a Cannondale Prophet MX that I mainly use for trail/all mountain riding around the Kalamamunda/Pickering Brook/Mundaring trails.

Im new to Farkin as I''ve just recently got computer access and come online.

Planning on doing some DH next year when the season starts. To me Mountain biking is the ultimate experience for my mind body and soul, I love every aspect of riding, its the ultimate sport as you all know.

See you out there, Aaron

Hi riders,

I'm new to farkin and wanted to add my Hello! I live in Tassie (I guess that's obvious), mostly ride XC and I'm lucky as we have a great club here in Launceston; the LMBC. I used to live in NSW and miss riding in the Gong! So Hi! to all those people bombing down Keira and Kembla :)

Catch you on a forum soon

Cheers

Hey guys/girls my name is Dave just getting back into the mountain bike scene after many years off being unfit. I live in the hills district. Just bought a 08 specialised pitch pro and am looking forward to hitting the trails on it. The only place i have ridden off late is manly dam but am looking forward to checking out places like ourimbah and the oaks fire trail and so forth. Hope to catch up with some off you out on the trail sometime. just look for the bloke with an artificial leg, there cant be too many guys with one leg riding pitch pros so i should be easy to spot. :D
