[GravityBolivia]

Thought that you might like to check out a couple of photos from our weekend exploration ride where we were looking for some new mountain bike trails....and happened to stumble across some of the most excellent riding in rock formations!! Whether it is freeride, trials, or some hell fun cross country riding you are looking for....you have to check this out....

Bolivia has so much to offer....and we know about some of the really good stuff, but when we keep finding new and exciting stuff like this....well we cant help but want to share!!

Hang on, aren't you the Bolivian minister for tourism :P

Why must you make the trials riders wet themselves?
They will be migrating there soon.

hahahaahaha i have been thinking about posting something along those lines for a while....but ah well you show us and hopefully at least we know theres some nice riding there!!! if we ever get the chance to go to boliva! btw how many riders are there???? and how expensive is everything over there?

droool, that must have some awesome potential, and all that bolivia shit is giving mme nightmares it so sweat.

Well I am not sure if there is actually a Bolivian Tourism Minister, or for that matter a department of tourism here....so I might well be the unofficial bolivian mountian biking tourism minister!!

Bazza, there are not too many riders here. A mountain bike is well beyond the money that most people have spare here, but the people who do ride here love it, and there is a very active race scene....as you might have discovered by some of my other posts and photos....

Life is Cheap :shock: here. The cost of living or accomadation or of eating out or of transport is super cheap. For me to get a taxi to town from my place (10 min) costs about 3 Bolivianos (think like 50c aus), I can get lunch down the street here for about 6 bolivianos or about $1 aus (soup, meat with rice main), a hostel in the middle of town cost something like 20 bolivianos a night or about $3 aus.....
