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

[S.]

Yaaaay! I caned the bottom section!

[oz-freerider]

yes you had it nailed the video just doesnt do it justice tho when i was watching you it look much faster in real life oh well maybes simo's dv cam will be better :)

[oz-freerider]

and i might add thats a mighty fine line i found around the bottom of the dam :D

[Commander Dilsnikk]

hursty went off i see...
looks much better in the dry

did u guys find that drop i was talkin about??? the one over the rock section???

The NS one? Or the launchy thingy?

[S.]

Yeah I know, it made you and trev look slow too.

I couldn't understand how I could go at least as fast as you in that bottom section, but couldn't keep up at all up the top... must be all that Dandy experience or somethin.

haha yeah i dunno either i think i was taking the corner too wide out of the dam i'll have to see where you go next time so i can do it faster :D

[Commander Dilsnikk]

not the NS...although that was originally meant to be just a drop!!! no rol-in just drop to rocks...but the guy who built it farked himself up a few too many times

i'm talking about the drop which takes off just to ur left as u turn down the hill out of the final part of the rock section...u land on the track but take off just next to it

i told josh about it...dunno if he could work it out

[oz-freerider]

hursty went off i see...

did u guys find that drop i was talkin about??? the one over the rock section???
i think so but it look dodge as hell like no real landing

[Commander Dilsnikk]

nah the landing's big coz it's that downslope out of the rocks but it's difficult to get onto coz of some obstacles next to the take off

ok...i give in...it's pretty dodge...only one person actually managed to ride away properly!!! the other two of us ended up somewhere down to the side of the track....it could be made good though if we sorted out one of the trees that stops u launching properly

[oz-freerider]

well when we head up we'll take shovles and see what we can do ;)

[Commander Dilsnikk]

sounds like a plan

did u guys have any luck finding that drop they said was bulldozed???
and did u ride the trails on the other side of the ridge???

[oz-freerider]

yeah it's not bull doze but socket said some of the take off was missing i dot see how u do it theres trees right in front of it either side!! and nah we havent been down the other side i've been told it's not worth the walk back up

[Commander Dilsnikk]

yeah some of it is damn fast but it's not exactly challenging technically...
and yeah....the walk back up is hell!!!

[Commander Dilsnikk]

geeze....just saw the vid
u guys nailed that bottom section!!!

[oz-freerider]

got plans to hit it fast next time 8)

[Commander Dilsnikk]

i'll be there!!

[oz-freerider]

haha i'm thinking maybe the weekend after granton if i'm not doing anything

[Commander Dilsnikk]

sounds good
where is granton BTW???

[oz-freerider]

ummm
near maryville just go up maroondah hwy and just turn up the marysville road (just after narbethong)

[Commander Dilsnikk]

oh yeah i've heard of it

which shermans have u got BTW???

[oz-freerider]

the flicks i was going to get the fireflys but i couldnt see a point of paying an extra 300buxs for ti springs

[Commander Dilsnikk]

where from??
how much???

i wanna upgrade the '01 z5s that came on my bike and i've heard many good things about shermans

how have u found them??? versus ur old psylos???

[oz-freerider]

much stiffer than my psylo's i got em for a touch under 1000 but they retail for like 1100 with 20mm hex lock axle i'm just in the middle of making them suit me i just got heaver springs now i'll have a fiddle with other things but they have been great so far GREAT for nose manuals

[oz-freerider]

oh and i got them from croydon cycle works

[Commander Dilsnikk]

yeah...pity i can't do nose manuals...
ah well i can always learn

but first i should get some money if i'm gonna contemplate new forks
it's not exactly gonna happen since i need a new seat (rails bent and now it comes loose every time i ride), a ff helmet and some new gloves

oh well i can always dream

[Commander Dilsnikk]

jensonusa has fireflys at less that flicks at the moment....it's so tempting...$400US
i'd have to get a new front hub though

[Commander Dilsnikk]

coz the qr one is still at $500US

[oz-freerider]

hmmm 500us isnt really cheap.. after you put postage and what not on them... 400us is oright but i'd rather buy from a shop over here incase i have warrenty isue's

[Commander Dilsnikk]

yeah...and u gotta support local riders/ shops

[S.]

yeah...and u gotta support local riders/ shops

The warranty issue is probably more of a problem with something like forks, which have a relatively high rate of fucking up.

[curtisrider]

damn injuries :evil:

[oz-freerider]
