Suggestions anyone? and what day suits you best?

[LTR]

[green_chairs]

[oz-freerider]

i think it's ment to be really wet simo and i'm busy saturday so sunday would be cool but you do know it's fathers day sunday? :?

[will4eva7k]

just its fathers day

unless u gonna move it to the week after

[mr whippy]

yah, i can do saturday but not fathers day. any idea where yol thinkin of going? :)

[oz-freerider]

how about we make it next sunday??? more ppl tend to be able to come on sundays

[shmity]

Meh dads birthday the sunday after fathers day, no big red fire engine for you guys.

[oz-freerider]

[LTR]

ill do the axa building one !!

lol

JUST COME !!

[Simo]

yeh, this w/e is no good for me anymore either. my dad's overseas but im sick again!

[LTR]

I HATE YOU ALL !!

who is actually going??

if there is 5 or more ill still go....

[Simo]

we'll try and organise a biggish ride next w/e (13th and 14th). we could do city and jumps or something like that, go around a bit, make it an all day thing.

I won't have my camera as my dad took it tho.

[will4eva7k]

yea, more ppl will be cool

i'd only go if the weather isnt gonna be wet that weekend

[DJK]

Well, if that city rides not going ahead, and n e one wants to come for a ride this weekend, me and my mate were going to head out to hursty on saturday to check it out, but only if its not pissing down with rain.

[Commander Dilsnikk]

rode hursty the other weekend...
taking photos for a friend's year12 art stuff...
it was farkin PISSIN down!!!!
photos didn't turn out great but we scoped a new drop near the big rock section...doesn't look too difficult till you try to land it!!!
the rain makes it so much more of a challenge...especially since i'm on a hardtail and have only ridden the track twice!!! but the guy who built most of it...including the new north-shore style roll-in...was rippin it up!!!

the moral of my long rant...
hursty in the rain is challenging...slippery rocks have always been my nemesis...try it out...it adds a new dimension to an old track

[oz-freerider]

how about we have a hursty ride insted of a city ride city rides are gettig kinda old...

[wonderllama]

ok im leadin the way seemin most these post have no ideas on where to go , ok we HAVE to go dj`in cause im ithchin for some
places to go:heathmont dj`s (highly reccomended) , rabbit hill dj`s, NO CITY, hursty, dimond creek, dandies dh, BMX tracks (and piss off all those bmx`s) such as knox,frankston, oakleigh etc, um ne more dj`s or good places to go , post em up,

I WANA GO DJ~IN all day long
cya ya`ll

i reccomoend going on the 14th , which is a SUNDAY, dont go on saturdays , less ppl can go
cya

[Commander Dilsnikk]

there's some good downhill at fourth hill in warrandyte...not that it's all that accessible to those on public transport...
and there's a phat bmx track near it...

[oz-freerider]

your not ment to rie at warrandyte from what i know and their is big problems with ppl still ridng there and making it worse if we ever wanna ride there again...

[DJK]

How bigs this drop at hursty? Sounds interesting....

[oz-freerider]

i think i know the one he means and if some one takes some shovels i'll help fix it up and i'll give it a shot is it like at the last bit of the rock garden where u turn? like u would do the drop from the left where u turn right ? and gap over a few rocks?

[Commander Dilsnikk]

don't know bout the warrandyte situation.. have to ask my friend whose house backs onto the track...

as for the drop...it can be 1 or2 feet or it can be 7or8...it all depends how much speed you feel like taking off the edge...just watch out for the tree and the roacks which make it very ahrd to get a good landing...
one guy took it ultra hard that day and ended up somewhere down the hill...after making close aquaintence with a few trees on the way down...

[DJK]

Well, if you want to go up this weekend, i'll probably drive up, so i'll take a few shovels and stuff.

[Commander Dilsnikk]

yeah...that's the one...over the rocks

[oz-freerider]

i can go sunday but not saturday and i'll be sitten on the train for 2 hours YAY!

[Commander Dilsnikk]

i'm gonna try to get up sometime...but we'll see what i'm doing...even if it is only a fifteen min drive from my house

[Commander Dilsnikk]

i'll take some time off the books on sunday and hopefully see a few people up there

[oz-freerider]

bastard! we'll have to do mt dandy one day 15 mins from my house and think of this hursty but about 5 times longer :D 8)

[Commander Dilsnikk]

sounds like a deal...

btw...where do u work??? u posted something about it on another board...if u don;t mind me asking...
i'm kinda new to this board....
i think i saw u riding in the city one day...the day of that big protest march??? i was dressed in a bear suit for a friend's media film

[DJK]

I'm busy on sunday (Fathers day), so i'll probably head up there n e way on saturday, but if you guys want to go to hursty before the granton DH, i'm definately up for it.

[will4eva7k]

were u there thay day? i fink i saw a bear lolz

and some toher day, there was another one in da city, near maccas/timeout... was that u too?

[oz-freerider]

[oz-freerider]

http://www.nhd3.net/gallery/albums/rideseq/crseq1.sized.jpg

[Commander Dilsnikk]

yeah... i don't usually get around like that...

but u were on a hardtail, yeah???

htsc pride
i ride a stock 2002 specialized p3
i wish i has some mulah to do it up....or to by the bullit i'm dreaming of

[Commander Dilsnikk]

I WANT SHERMANS

[oz-freerider]

haha yes they are nice :D 8)

[Commander Dilsnikk]

yeah... i also love riding that "thing" (i dunno how to describe it)...especially when there are tourists around coz they freak out!!!

[oz-freerider]

yes i'm always getting randoms taking pics of me (and others) while we are doing it

[Commander Dilsnikk]

i LOVE showing up the skaters who are jumping down like one stair...that'll teach them for being involved in a sport i'm no good at!!!

BTW do you know when the city skate park is open to bikes??? if at all....

[oz-freerider]

no it isnt BUT! if your nice an explan how they are letting the bmxers ride there and they have NO BRAKES and we have brakes that can stop us in 5 meters any where in that park they let you stay they just tell you to take it easy theres some pics here http://www.nhd3.net/gallery/ride if u wanna have a look at what we get up to while in the city we hit stair gaps too but they are movie worthy so i have a few in a movie floating around on this site some where

[Commander Dilsnikk]

madness...
thanks for that

[Commander Dilsnikk]

BTW....where's that 4X track????

[oz-freerider]

thats baccas marsh

[Commander Dilsnikk]

it's all making a lot more sense now...

[Commander Dilsnikk]

BTW...if ur looking for a daunting drop in the city...u probably already know it...but it's down behind fed square right next to the river...it's a 6-7foot retaining wall and u have about 5 metres to stop or u g into the river...
now that is a FUN drop...even if it's not great for the bike....

[Commander Dilsnikk]

oh... it's to hard packed flat...

[oz-freerider]

yeah i've done it i'm kinda over drops to flat after blowing up my $300 planet x hub on a drop :(

[Commander Dilsnikk]

sounds fair enough to me...
i can never be fuked building trannies though...and the stuff in the city just seems so ready made...
oh well...we pay a price for convenience...even if $300 seems a tad steep

[Commander Dilsnikk]

where's all that north-shore from the videos???

sorry bout all the questions... i've always ridden by myself and so i only know the trails, etc. that i've found...

[LTR]

narbethong (cant spell)

we should head up there 1 day !!

[Commander Dilsnikk]

definitely...
after exams have finished...farkin school...
i spose then i've got 3months of freedom though...ooohhh yeah...i don't think i'll leave the bike

[Simo]

i agree on the no city thing, i need to go riding more places. Mind you, the city is still good for a fuck around every now and then.

DJ'ing sounds good, aslong as we go somewhere where there's easy stuff (not for anyone inparticular).

[Cúl-Báire]

DH sounds cool, but most of those are pretty far out of the city...To thinks I cant wait for:

1) To get my Giant AC built up! 8)
2) And get my fucking lazy ass off to get my licence and learners before that
