W.A. riders

[shenanigans]

OK so western australias presence concerning mates riding on farkin is pretty lame, hopefully with something like this riders all over the place will be able to chat about riding spots and hook up for rides as is described by a 'watering hole' thread.

with the demise of minus 6, and pretty piss poor effort on sites like perthmtb and wafreeride for organising rides, maybe we'll get a better response on farkin, it may work, it may not, maybe its just us:rolleyes:

so if your a west oz rider speak up! let us know what terrain you ride, where you ride (secrets kept secret obviously) and who you ride with. you may be surprised to find out some riders near you are keen to meet new people without getting too Dr. Phil.

post pics if you want of local stuff, whatever, hopefully we'll become a bigger happier family with the advantages of the fangled internet.

other states watering hole threads are chokkas with stuff, so maybe youve all just been waiting for something like this?

websites on this side of town are too full of whingeing crap, moaning about the newest parts and how crap your bikes are, 99% of it is people trying to sell stuff without enough actual riding going on, some of you are forgetting what mountain biking really is... snaking skateboarders and making arses of ourselves!:D

[Bike_Breaker]

hey man, well said!

i mainly ride the local skatepark and streets as i dont have my licence yet so i cant just get up and drive to any of our local tracks. There are a few good tracks around i like to hit when i get a chance! Pile Rd (Mt leonard) is a pretty good track with some twisty single track, fast downhill and a few jumps at the bottom, well worth a go if u are ever down bunbury way!

anyway, if anyone wants to get a few riders 2gether for a ride at welly mills or maybe some sk8ies and street spots in perth just giv me a yell cos im really keen to have a ride with a few talented people, i might learn sumthing!

cheers

P.S, i know there are alot of perth riders on here so POST SOMETHING

[shenanigans]

thats good, sweet as.
when i was down at welli mills last weekend for the state round, damon said thyeve recieved a 10,000 dollar grant for trail development and will be recieving another 100,000 dollars towards it later on!
with the logging of parts of dwellingup maybe welli mills will become the new place to go for pure downhill trails? its a great location, good soil, thick forest and its out of the way of people that might winge:D
i personally cant wait, its great that SWMTB are recieving so much money and have support from the local government to develop mountain biking facilities.

i'll get the ball rolling, did anyone go to the goatfarm today? there were a few things on, the club race (how did that go?) the busy bee for the new dh trail as well as regulars up there riding as usual, should have been good.

also does anyone know about super dirtjump trails in collie?
im not asking for directions of anything, just if anyones been there, what there like and maybe some pics? ive been hearing a bit about them lately...

[shenanigans]

i think the problem is most riders dont know this is even here, so bump.

[matty_101]

g'day guys, i ride fr mostly in the city and on the train lines. and a bit at goatfarm

I was up at the Goatfarm helping build the second line from the top of the hill. Its looking awesome so far. We got all of the first set of berms groomed up, just needs a bit of riding in and a bit of rain I guess :)

I think there will be more work up at the Goatfarm in the coming weekends so it'd be nice to see more people helping out. Rock garden is next up.

Im always up there having a ball on the Reign. When im not out at Langford doing the hard slog :)

Was nice to meet some of the Perth MTB club peepz too.

[skwiz05]

I think a lot of WA riders that actually ride are club members and the old grapevine works better for hooking up for rides......just go to any of the main shops supporting DH and you'll find that someones riding nearly every weekend...
For instance, guys from the PEEL club (like Buckit and Mullet Woman -Fiona and friends) ride nearly every weekend - and ride the goat farm quite a bit....
And as for the Peel club event on Sunday just gone, yeah it was fun, but they cut out a few berms in the Snake Run to try to make it a bit more DH......and the creek drop near the end got me on my second run....
I dont think anyone put in 100% as we all had to push up (bitchin), and its so damn pedally! I was worn out after my second practice.....

[Nathan1]

Hey Guys and Girls,
My wife and I only recently moved to Bullsbrook and I don't know much about the riding scene around the area but I have been to the goat farm a few times it's quite fun,I'm more into downhill. It would be great to hook up with some people for a ride and to find out about other places to ride around the place.I'm free on most weekends so if anyone is looking for someone to ride with give me a P.M and we can sort something out.
Cheers Nathan

[Bike_Breaker]

hey all

What is the goat farm? this might be stupid but i dont get out of town much to ride any of the trails, only my local one out at Mt leonard, if anyone is organising a ride let me know cos im really keen to catch up with some fellow riders!

[cozwa]

yes if you like dwelly, especially the tom's track side i would get in there now. As soon as its dry enough and calm gives the ok they will be in there logging and that hill's number is up this summer. Might be lucky enough for murray valley to survive another year but its not looking to promising. Dont worry we have ear marked some new area's and are just waiting for approvall.Good to see swmtbc havin some joy down there such a great place to ride aswell. yeh as for us PEEL clowns we are out havin a roll almost every weekend but we try to keep it purely downhill coz that's how we like it......

[skinner]

Hey guys,

Im always up for a ride....once i get my steed fully functional anway.

I've only just moved to WA too so im looking to find some good spots, i live down at secret harbour (near mandurah) but moving to perth soon, (can't stand the drive to perth everyday for work)

Into the single track/AM/bit of downhill aswell so PM if you are in the area and want to catch up for a ride.

WA Freeride seems to be just street/park in the last while, no offroad stuff. Would anyone be up for a regular Mundaring/Gunjin/Goatfarm/Canning Mills ride? I'm up for some mid-week rides & wouldn't mind a riding buddy.

We ride reguarly, and do a reasonable amount of digging and lobbying also.
We Ride Everything:
- Street (Our most common territory)
- Park (Badly)
- Dirtjumps
- BMX Tracks
- Freeride (Our Freeride Trail, Jarrahdale etc.)
- Downhill (On singlespeed, single geared hardtails running street tyres...)
If anyones down this way, or wants to come down for a ride, get in contact with me through a PM , myspace or email (Paddlepoplion@Gmail.com), and come out for a ride.

good to see some interest, and now whos going to the state champs??

should be awesome, little caesars pizza tent, little creatures beer tent with tv to watch bathurst, test ride demo bikes, the whole lot.
having xc and dh on the same day will be awesome, and with the goatfarm being so close to perth, huge turnout is expected.

[tinto]

good to see some interest, and now whos going to the state champs??

I'll be there (not racing). Sounds like it will be an awesome day - at very least it will be the most 'organised' MTB event I've been to. Really curious about what has been going down at the Goatfarm too.

MTB, Beer, & Pizza = the condensed meaning of life. The excuses you can make up for not being there are lame and meaningless.

[skwiz05]

see some of yo there......

[russthedog]

hey justin, well as you know i used to be a dead keen bush man each weekend but now im down in old albany town, so yeah thats where i am.

[The Paperboy]

Hey boys,

Good work Shenanigans. This was most definately overdue.

Well as most of you know i'm in Newman with some pretty sick natural terrain up here(just hard as hell to dig). Yet I do a few trips to Perth from time to time so I'll let you guys know when i'm coming down, hopefully on the new ride(shhh Shenanigans secret remember).

Should be good to put some names to faces(for the WAfreeride guys)

Remember ride hard, party harder..:D

and if you read this thebofh, any updates with kelmscott dj's?

[Bike_Breaker]

Hey Guys, i have just finished a week long ride along a section of the munda biddi track and as part of that we rode around the langford park 12 hour course! im just wondering if anyone is going to or has any information about the 12 hour race coming up soon. Myself and a couple of mates are looking at entering just as a bit of fun but we are not sure what the regulations and stuff are!

Cheers

[TheBofh]

and if you read this thebofh, any updates with kelmscott dj's?
The project was passed onto the recreation dept & the man in charge put the brakes on it for reasons of his own.

I've been in touch with him & he said he was going to try to put the proposal to council this month but wasn't 100% certain. Interpret that as you may :(

However, it has the support of the parks dept & the community services dept, it costs practically nothing to do & the land is already zoned for the activity & covered for liability, it just has to survive the internal politics of the City of Armadale.

[Rexy]

Im probably racing the 12hr.
Singlespeed. Rear brake only. Street tyres. Drunk.
Plan is to go slowly uphill, beat the elite men down and have fun.
Details: www.perthmtb.com
For all Perth riders: Theres an active crew in Rockingham...
Contact me if you want to hook up for a ride...

[Hobzai]

Just adding my bit on the original post. I try and get up to the Goatfarm at least once a weekend for a DH ride, usually early morning til midday. I'm not hard to spot when out riding - I have a full polish DH Comp (the Commodore of the downhill set). I don't race, so I don't know many people in the sport locally. Happy to make an arse of myself, not afraid to dig.

Keen to meet up with DH people - my downhilling buddy just started renovating his house so he's out of circulation. Boo hiss. See you all on a trail sometime.

[Bike_Breaker]

hey Rexy, im keen to make the trip up to mandurah for a street session if there is one going on, just let me know otherwise ill try and catch up with ya at the 12 hour

[TheBofh]

I'll be at the Goatfarm on Tuesday for a couple of hours if anyone is up for a ride.

[finny_447]

Hey dudes
I live in kalgoorlie and generally ride and build every weekend we do have a few riders up here but the fact is everyone thinks it is completly flat so no ones interested. But we got some decent trails and hills so hopefully the riding community will grow a bit more in a few years. we mostly have freeride/downhill stuff. If anyone is up here and are looking to ride a bit. just send us a pm and we will show you some of our tracks.

[shenanigans]

hey were getting a bit of interest this is good.
im riding as much as i can but with work and tafe not as much as usual, when tafe is over ill be riding more, should have my p's by then yay.

Good on you Darcy for starting this up and keeping it running, its needed!
I'm finally back riding now after 3 months off with a broken frame.
I ride a NS Streetlegal now, street, dirt and park tickle my fancy.
Spent the time off the bike building and have a ramp to landing setup and a set of dirtjumps (clay) down in Rockingham.
Looking at riding a fair bit this week before i go in for an operation.
Hopefully hit up Manning and Perth as well as riding down in Rocko.
If anyones keen for a ride let me know!
Rex.

[xc_machine]

Geraldton is a medium sized town.
We have 2 main XC tracks and a downhill course that is quite alright!
Greenough is home to the first which is an 18km course that is quite flat and hard, although it does have some soft beach santowards the end.

Chapman river is great. The enire track is around 10kms but is a heap more technical and fun.

The downhill track is located about 8-10kms out of geraldton and is a great simple run.

Anyone in Geraldton willing to get a ride organised? PM!

[utester]

Hello Perth dudes! Ok, I live up in the northern 'burbs but go everywhere for a ride. When im in Perth I am out on the road every day for a road ride and about 2-3 times a week up in the hills for a XC ride out through Pickering Brook, Mundaring and everything in between (munda biddi, little oven, katamorda, kala circuit etc)... I have been doing a few long ones to get my fitness back up to scratch after a nasty accident but also have a DH bike and would be happy to do runs with anyone.

PM me if anyone is keen for weekend or during the week rides. I have been riding the hills of Perth for about 10 years now and the people on the ride the better!

Cheers, Paul.

[Pebble]

Hey there West Aussies.

We're looking at moving to Nannup, bit out of the way but looks like heaps of forestry tracks & the Munda Biddi soon to come through. Never know may even start up a B&B if we get the right house - or if we can get a bit of acerage I'll have to build my own tracks:D
Looked at Perth but places were pretty expensive and it was all just suburbia, hills were nice but even still don't like living much in a big city.

Thought I'd keep a tab on this thread for when we end up doing trips to Perth or Albany etc (have family in Albany). I'm keen on riding but my husband isn't so much.

We're moving at the end of the year. Anyone from around Nannup?

[bbrz4]

Hey guys im new here

my names mitch and i started riding street park and dj's about 2 months ago.
i live in bayswater in perth and if your lookin for a street or park sesh hit me up.
i am 14

go onto www.wafreeride.com bbrz4 we have street rides organised on there every now and then, come to think of it i will organise one soonish, ill post it up on here too just incase you dont see it

[xc_machine]

Usually ride the streets, but also the local trail on my xc.
Anyonw from geraldton?

[shenanigans]

digging up this thread to get this section cranking, any wa riders on farkin let your presence be known, we might organise a huge ride somewhere just to get the group of riders who use farkin together, which may then bring more riders together through people hooking up for rides with and without using the forum.

see rexys thread.

[jp funk]

nah dont live there but the downhill state track that was used in the first state round this year. nice and fast big double bout 50 meters into it and then after that there is a rock drop/garden and then into the woods for fully walled up berms and 3 small steps
hoped i helped:)

[backdoor]

Oh Yeah! move to Nannup! Hills galore, plenty of rednecks with guns shooting roos but that comes with living in the bush. So much territory down there to ride, even if you want to head inland more to bridgetown, balingup wa there are almost endless possibilites... Have fun you lucky bugger

[Pebble]

So you reckon a Norco Rampage would suit the terrain?
My abilities - well that's something that would need work:o because there ain't no hills here in Cobar & well we didn't live in Townsville quite long enough to have a go (moved just after the Mt Stewart track was completed).

[backdoor]

Around nannup you'd be able to find a big variety of terrain I'd say. I actually lived down that way when I was a grom, before I started riding so most of the time I was mainly chasing surf between the capes. There's nice spots around Margs to ride XC i guess, through Boranup forest and the rest of the national park. Thats not too far from Nannup (when I say not far I mean in county terms, like a hlf hr- 45 mins drive to the next town kinda thing). Or closer to Nannup theres plenty of steeper stuff. I have mates who go out there doing hill climbs on their dirt bikes n stuff

[Pebble]

Sounds like I'll easily find new trails to keep it interesting. For just plain riding I see there's plenty of forestry tracks around the area to get lost on too, but I'm certainly keen to get on some "real" tracks at some stage. Hopefully my husband won't mind going for short trips when hes home so I can go out riding.
I am very much familiar riding the tracks that dirtbikes have made around here in Cobar because there isn't really anything else. Although I hear the new local dentist & her hubby are into mtb, hmm I think I better make an appointment to get a new filling in my tooth;)
Country terms work for me, the nearest major town to us now (and nearest bike shop) is 3hrs away.

[Harohooligan]

just joined up
sik of riding of the same drop offs/jumps/whatever! we ride in tha melville area tryin 2 find anythin to get us off the ground!!!!:D we all still 2 young to get to hills. If anyones got some useful info for me and the boys to entertain us it would be a great help

what kind of riding do you do:confused::confused::confused::confused:

[::RideSiK::]

yeah im kinda a local. well live about 50minutes away near bunbury.

good riding there. personally i wouldnt like to live there. i think theres as good a tracks for riding and a much more healthy scene outside of bunbury (dardanup and surrounding towns.) donnybrook is a good place thats still got a country town vibe and is reasonably close to good trails. or dardanup. (by healthy scene i mean group rides 3 times a week without fail and endless kilometers of trail)

[Harohooligan]

If your askin me??? well my bikes abit heavy for xc,suppose youd call it street we usually around Garden city(if you've heard of it) theres some good sections around there! theres a few tracks around the area. But anything will do as long as it consists of MTB riding and jumps :)

well i live no where near you mate but maby you parents could drop you off at the goat farm or something on the weekend if youve been there before. its way better than just riding down the street looking for drop offs but other than that you could find a non vacant black of land and build some dirt jumps there eventually the ranger will come and tell you off but its fun while it lasts i dont know why they bother us when there not catching all the taggers and what not:mad:

any way i hope i helped

The goat farm is located near Midland, its just off Great Eastern Highway towards Mundaring. It is a great place to go riding, it has many tracks including downhill ones, there are big drops and awesome jumps to. It is well worth going there !!!! :D

[backdoor]

And it's not like smashing your elbows on every turn like a pine plantation. All the weeds are a bit long at the moment and it gets hard to see the skinny singletracks up ahead, but they'll all be dead soon so no excuses for getting wide. Nearly snake season though

Well worth going? I don't think I've ever actually heard anyone talk about the goatfarm like that... I could see how you may think it's good if you haven't ridden any other tracks in the area and dont have a car to get around, but it's nothing special, and there are alot better tracks in the area...

[jp funk]

yeah like mundaring or nannup ar dwelli or weli mils but there a bit far away any of thoes tracks are way better than the goat farm

Get onto WA Freeride, the link is in my sig, there's plenty of group rides organised & they usually have some shuttling going too.

i have been on there a bit. the place is useless. i registered about a month ago, still haven't been accepted. it seems like hardly anyone goes on there too.

G'day there,

I'm new to Nannup and recently got a new bike - STP 0.
I will just be riding the local trails for now, suss out the area & hope to have a look into the Downhill course towards Balingup. It's been a while without riding so I'll have to work on my confidence and more importantly now lacking fitness.

At the moment still settling in, so I'm yet to get the time to go for a decent ride apart from just around the yard. Hah, only just got a landline connected (took 3 weeks) so at least I can visit Farkin on a meagre 30kbps dial up connection!

hi man, Its ranga jack here

i found som spots in spearwood area.
there a small mountain called mount brown i ride at and som limestones tracks i ride at in the hills behind manning park that backs on to coogee.
they aint to bad you can get some speed and clearances on the jumps there but u have to wait around winter time cos its got some sand spots and they get really boggy when summer hits. it saves you a trip to goats farm if you don't wont to have to treck it.

[shenanigans]

good to see some people making an effort.
as soon as my hands better (i broke it mundaring) i'm keen for some riding.
only had 3 rides on the new sunday so far :(

Yeah aint to bad theres a few trails that have a steep face on it ant there are alot of random rocks through there.. im proberly going there for a ride this weekend. but i see how i go. where the watch tower is theres a good steep track leading down to the park but its more of a balance and braking track then fast tracks wid long jumps. but i love those tracks
