hurstbridge~~~~~

[oz-freerider]

just a vid of me riding and shmity bailing at hurstbridge i must say it's well worth the trip it has a good track length for the 10/15 min walk back up (although it is a steep walk back up!)
ok here we are:
cable version (around 9 meg i think): http://www.nhd3.net/gallery/albums/sclips/hursty.wmv

dial up version (around 2.6 meg i think): http://www.nhd3.net/gallery/albums/sclips/hurst_du.wmv





AND PROPS TO NICK FROM www.nhd3.net FOR HOSTING

[Rik]

Hey not bad, so what were your final choices of songs for that?

[Fritta]

nice vid, what prog do u use to edit??

[curtisrider]

hursty good eye?

[Bender is CRAZY]

Hursty looks sweet! nice vid guys!

[Bender is CRAZY]

Shmity had a few crashes!!! That is Shmity isn't it?

[Simo]

yep, that's shmity *shudder* :lol:

[shmity]

Yeah, i dunno what was wrong with me yesterday, i was a clutz all day, i was even falling over pushing back up the hill. :/
But hursty is well worth the trip, the trails are short, but very well thought out, well made and maintained, short push back up the hill, AND you can get there by train.

[LTR]

yeah would have been coolerer if i had a front brake and if i didnt stack soo much!! damn it!! ive faxed jensonusa for 1 now!!

[curtisrider]

i'm so hardcore ive never crashed there.
did u guys hit the biggest drop?

[shmity]

Well, the guys who live down the road from the trails said that the drop had been bulldozed, how you get a buldozer in there ill never know. We did find one that looked kinda sketch between two trees to a real steep short run out, but it looked more like a launch than a drop to me.

[curtisrider]

yeah thats the one i mean
did u do it?
and i find the bulldozer thing preeety farfetched too

[shmity]

I was feeling a bit sore and sorry after my day of clumsines, maybe next time.

[oz-freerider]

Hey not bad, so what were your final choices of songs for that?

ummmmm misfits - wal among us or somthing and nile - howling of the jin

[oz-freerider]

nice vid, what prog do u use to edit??
i just use the windows one movie maker or some such thing i'll start using preimie 6.0 soon so i can fade songs and do slow mo's of smhitys crashes :lol:

[shmity]

i figured out what half my problem was, the compession damping on my forks was too soft, so when i hit the rock, instead of the wheel poping up and over it, my momentum when down the fork compressing it....the other half of the problem was im a tard.

[oz-freerider]

haha i must admit u have perfect timing when it comes to bailing always when the camera is out :lol:

[shmity]

Yeah i know, fark.

[Fritta]

nice vid, what prog do u use to edit??
i just use the windows one movie maker or some such thing i'll start using preimie 6.0 soon so i can fade songs and do slow mo's of smhitys crashes :lol:
cool, i use this american program trial. its sooo mad cept its only the trial but it does just wat i want it to do. i used premire for a while but my captures wernt half as good as this other prog, cause i dont have a capture card. i got this cable.

[curtisrider]

[oz-freerider]

[dick]

heh, the video so doesnt do any justice.
that rock garden does like like anything in video but then u go there in real life and its pretty knarly.
that ramp looks piss in the video too but in real life its much harder.

[curtisrider]

yeah i agree

[Simo]

no shmity, you are a 100% tard, hence u setting ur forks all wrong!

[125PHIL]

the smitty and joshie the vid doesnt do any justice! that was sick
i got there just after smitty bailed!
but i was there 2 watch josh...
josh = fucken skilled! hit it redicoulsy smooth and clean, heaps of probs josh...ur my hero! :P
shmitty/josh props 2 u!

[oz-freerider]

yay go me! now may you call me god :) ;)

[shmity]

/me mutters about forks and bloody camera

[jayboy882003]

yeah looking good, i want to go there!!!

[curtisrider]

28th of sept theres gonna be a ride we hope

[curtisrider]

since when were there ladders at hursty?

[Commander Dilsnikk]

ladder has been there a few months i think
madcore props to jeremy buchanan who built the ladder and the rest of the track (berms, etc.)

BTW the ladder roll-in was originally meant to be a drop (no roll in, just the top bit) but jeremy caned himself a few times and decided on the roll-in option...which is still pretty hard...and will get harder when the rocks erode more...i can't wait!!!

[curtisrider]

mad, does he live on the street half-way up?

i havent been there for the last few months.

what happened to the drop with the small run off?

[Commander Dilsnikk]

nah...he lives somewhere in eltham
i didn't know anything about that drop...neither did he coz we were up there a week or two ago and he didn't mention it...
if it was gone it wasn't done by a bulldozer though...no way u would have got one in and not left huge scars for everyone to see

if people go on the 28th they/we need to check out the trails on the other side of the ridge which were too wet to ride when i was there last...look like good fun...

there are also some plans to build a run with heaps of northshore on the other side...roll on summer holidays...

[curtisrider]

madness, id be happy to help build ns there ive got a mate who lives in eltham who would help too,

about the drop someone said that is was gone so?

and what are the trails down the other side like? ive always been reluctant to do them because i dont know where to easily get back up?

[Commander Dilsnikk]

there's only really one that i know of...not all that technically challenging but FARKIN FAST!!!
there's another that i know from the bottom but i think it's now overgrown and i'm not sure exactly where it starts...we could find it though...apparantly it used to be good...jumps and burms, etc.

the NS is gonna be further along the ridge if people can be fuked building it...it'll be alot of work

who is it u know in eltham??? i live just near there

[curtisrider]

a mate called andrew, he lives off antoinette blvd which is over the bridge on main rd.

he rides a 2002 4hun.

[Commander Dilsnikk]

i know his street (i go past there very day to go to school) and i've heard of someone around there who rides a 4-hun but i don't really know him...
any idea his last name or what school he goes to (if he does...)???

[curtisrider]

andrew and he goes to my school balwyn high.

where do you go?

what do u ride?

[Commander Dilsnikk]

eltham college
specialized p.3 2002

u??

[curtisrider]

balwyn high, 2001 norco 250 and 2000 giant dh team.

do ride with someone on an ATX-one?

and what year are you in?

andrew usually jumps at valonia and sometimes at diamo

[Commander Dilsnikk]

i know three people with giant DH bikes...i'm not sure if they're the ATX series...i'm not a huge fan of giants...)

1 is a mate...his giant is blue and green
another i know little...blue and green
and the other i just met one day at the old BMX track in eltham...yellow and red (which i think is an atx1..but i don't really know)

i'm in yr12
i sometimes jump at valonia ...farkin love that big table off to the side!!! but i'm not all that good at jumping...i prefer urban and downhill...but i'm teaching myself to jump...i can almost pull a full flatty now...i'll get there...

[curtisrider]

yeh valonia is pretty cool.
i meant the guy on the red and yellow one.
Have you encountered the hardcore scooter gang in eltham yet :lol:

[Commander Dilsnikk]

yeah...that guy doesn't tend to do alot...just sit on his big bike and do hursty really slowly if he has to...hell i caned him on my p.3!!!

i can't say i've encountered a scooter gang though...

[curtisrider]

hahaha......thats so funny people who sit on thier bike and think thier sick.


If you encounter the scooter gang you will laugh very hard.

They tried to chase us but we just rode normally so they threw a rock and missed instead it hit a car.
Then they road off,
