From what I have been told. It is not able to be raced, but it is still allowed to be ridden. Lots of people have been going there riding it so....

Yeah Marcus!!

Seems someone has been studying Sam Hills style....

Have to say though, Ararat seems to be Marcus' track.. Still cant get over how he beat all of U.19's by 7sec when he was in U.17's and would have placed top 5 in Elite... He owns that track!

Great editing! Probably going to cop some flack over this, but the track looks pretty, well, boring!

By saying that, you are rather on the money, but when it gets super loose and dusty, it can be quite fun =p

Pretty much the only downhill trail in its area, with Ballarat (1hr) being the closest then further afield by a few more hours to others, so they have something good there in that view.

No. He didn't even touch them at the end. Hahaha he drifts to a stop:D.

Yeah the track i spose looks boring on video but it is quite high speed and as Patto said when it gets loose it is amazing. I have only been there once and it is amazing fun to ride.

There's nothing spectacular on the track, but it flows extremely well, keeps your speed up and has lots of awesome fun corners. When it's dusty it's loose as, just good old fashioned fun :)


That video was really nicely done, that guy knows how to ride a bike alright!

Aararat is an awesome fast track, heps of fun to drift and to do a good time requires hands OFF the brakes. Marcus does remember nowra.
