KHSMAD, farkin.net will hopefully have the largest database of aus trails around. And not just well-known ones, the ones anyone can think of thats worth a ride. If u got some spare time, can u email me some of the trials around bris, location, degree of difficulty, track length, rating of it (bad, good, hardcore etc:P), access for cars to pick you up?

This would be greatly appreciated. we are already working on this, and have some tracks already, the more the merrier :)

[Shane J]

Yeah no worries. I will see what I can do for you..

is this site world wide

is this site world wide

Why did you drag a 6-month-old thread back from the dead?

[Commander Dilsnikk]

is this site world wide

well it IS called the WORLD-wide web...

but it depends how you define world-wide
most people in north america will be able to access this site from the safety of their own home (although if they should be out riding not checking stuff up on the internet) but there will be many who are living below the poverty line who will not have access to the appropriate equipment to connect to the global web interface. these people will be generally found in larger urban landscapes where their ancestors were forced to move both after the civil war in the United States and later on when the development of the industrial economy saw an exodus of people moving to the cities in order to fulfil the work requirements needed at the time. this exodus has caused problems lately as the uneven sprawl of housing and population has caused a lack of workeres in the agricultural sector whilst many go jobless in the industrial or post-industrial sectors. thus many will find it hard to find enough money to pay for the equipment to acces this website even if they have full access to the appropriate power and communicational cables which would aid their access.

south america will have problems accessing the site because there is an extreme level of poverty in all sectors, whether it be agricultural or industrial. this is partly caused by the management of certain countries' economies which has not seen a development from the industrial to the post-industrial which has been needed to create opportunity in a world which is becoming increasingly globalised. this globalisation is also causing a widening of the gap between rich and poor and thus whilst there may be some in south america who can access this site there will be many more who cannot due to lack of funds and/ or running water.

europe will fair much better than other continents with a very high degree of post-industrialism being seen to pervade the continent, thus giving rise to a much higher and more even wage distribution throughout. this will mean the most people will be able to access this website as their circumstance (both monetary and time-wise) allows them to do so.

africa will have problems accessing this website. those who are not famine-stricken due to the political instability of many of the countries and their often-poor agricultural planning will usually need to be white to access this site. whilst overt governmental racial policy seems to have left most countries (except zimbabwe) it has been so ingrained in the societal fabric of the countries affected that it has not changed to the extent that the western world would have liked. thus we see that most of africa is more worried about producing enough wheat to sustain themselves and finding any form of running water that they would be far from concerned with accessing this website, even if they could find the equipment and/ or electricity. south africa doesn't have any working computers as they have all been stolen at gunpoint.

the middle east is a trouble spot at the moment and if you are palestinian you will have no access to this website because more likely than not your home has been recently destroyed by the israeli army. the situation is similar in iraq and afghanistan where the rubble of war still lies unchecked and whilst you may be able to find a computer it will probably be infected with depleted uranium from the shells used by the united states military in the assault on you country. you would probably be more concerned with the establishment of a working government in you country than with you ability to access a website of no relevance to you. in saudi arabia, however, oil profits have caused a high distribution of wealth and many would be able to access this website - given that they haven't had their hands cut off for theft)

asia is very complex as is encompasses both the highly post-industrial "asian tigers" of japan, singapore, etc. and the agrarian societies of india, nepal, burma, etc. thus it sepends where you are in asia but there is a high likelyhood that if you are in a post-industrial state you will have som form of access to this website. if you are in burma the military leadership will not allow you to access the internet for fear that you may be perpetrating democracy. in india you will have to fight your 10327492 brothers and sisters in order to get to the water tap and if you are a girl you were probably killed at birth anyway. in china you will have a high possibility of being able to acces this website as you are most certainly an only child and probably quite spoily. that said if you live in a farming family you have no hope. noone will be able to access any website containint the words free-speech or humanitaritan society so now that i have posted this they will not be able to access the site.

so on a whole throughout the world most people will not be able to access this website due to an uneven food and wealth spread.

was this the kind of answer you were looking for????

this has been a dilsnikk public service announcement: "please STOP gravedigging" :wink:
