[stinky|dan]

for all of you South of the River folk in need of a nice bike shop you should go to Bike Force Myaree on North Lake Rd. and not just because i work ther on Saturdays! Graham the boss is cool and a great mechanic and sensitive to all your biking needs.

[Bonnet]

Stinky/dan-

REALLY???, i go there all the time, that and Attadale bike shop. you guys tried to sell me a trek, but i got a raceline instead, i might pop in on saturday. hey hey *Cough* farkin discount *cough*

[stinky|dan]

Bonnet,

were you the guy with the broken fork on the raceline?

Yeah come on down, not much in the shop at the moment but you can always order stuff if required. We have all the catalogues from the major distributors.

Dan

[Bonnet]

YEH that was me (i cant believe you rememer???), i broke three of the 2003 manitou six comp 80mm travel forks, all in the same place and after less than harsh riding, then to top it off, my mate broke his forks excatly the same as me, 3 TIMES. so between us we broke six manitous in about 2 monthsriding (it took about a month to get the fork fixed in between breaks).

i might see abuot gettin some shimano or (sram) mechs so i have a spare. if i can afford it maybe a stronger rim....ohhh so much to buy, so little $$$$ to spend.

[stinky|dan]

i know the feeling. So much to buy, so little money. Damn this habit of mine.

[chucK]

[Knackerbags]

Just found this forum, I'm in WA (Scarborough). Just picked up a 2nd hand hardtail (Norco Manik) and tryin to find some good DH runs. I'm prolly what you call a veteran (ie old dude) who used to race BMX some years ago. But damn its good to ride a bike again, the manik is a bit of a brick to jump but I feel like a kid again rippin down a run at the Goatfarm. Oh and that 20ft drop is wicked as.

Might see some of you guys out, I'll be checking out a few other well known spots over the coming weeks Mundaring, Welli Mills etc

freeriding/trialI'm getting into Trials, I've got a Bionic B1, & just working on some of the basics in my back garden for the moment. Try www.observedtrials.net, there's a couple of Perth riders on there. I think they ride at Southlands every now & then.

PS. I'd brush up on spelling & grammar or you won't last too long on Farkin. The mods are a bit touchy about it around here.

[kernsy]

I am from mosman park

[Daniel J]

Hey guys, it's nice to see the Perth scene building, but to be honest where you are from isn’t such a big deal since we all ride the same areas anyways. So instead how about just a little more info like the tracks you ride, what disciplines you ride and maybe what bikes you’re on. Don’t mean to sound rude at all, just thought it would save us all some time later. Thanks

[kernsy]

Okay, as i said befor i am from mosman park in perth and i am 15
I usually ride DH and a bit of BMX
The bikes i have got is a 07 Kona Stinky, STP and a WTP addict
I usually ride some tracks that have been built near my house, goatfarm, dwellingup, mundaring or anywhere around there
Also i was wondering who or if anyone is going to nannup this weekend(27/4/08):D

[jp funk]

Also i was wondering who or if anyone is going to nannup this weekend(27/4/08)
im definitely going to be there might see you there?:)

[kieron+byk=:)]

darlington here! (near mundaring)

[kernsy]

im definitely going to be there might see you there?:)

Have you raced there before?

[NH_]

yep me and a whole bunch of people are going to nannup

cant wait to hit that double again, some mad air time

[kernsy]

Ive never been to nannup before so it should be fun:D

[Bradster]

hey, im brad. i only signed up about a week ago to buy stuff and now im gettin hooked, i live in midland and ride mostly DH, mostly at goatfarm and sometimes around mundairing (gungin).

I ride a Reign X0 with black domains and a 1201 plate, sadly im gonna miss nannup but i'll see you round

Brad

[NH_]

Ive never been to nannup before so it should be fun:D

prepare to die then, and prepare for your brakes to die half way down unless you own hopes

[kernsy]

HAHA, but i am not sure if i can go now because i cant find any accomodation in or around Nannup so that sucks:(

[NH_]

camping ftw, theres tonnes of places around, last year i stayed at donnybrook, maybe 45 minutes north but still close enough

[kernsy]

Yeh i will keep trying places

[Pebble]

HAHA, but i am not sure if i can go now because i cant find any accomodation in or around Nannup so that sucks:(

If you don't mind camping try the Cavaran park here in Nannup (phone the Tourist Beaureau for bookings), there are two, the main one is nicer, the other is run by the same people and has a couple of permanents in it but also serves as overflow, unless of course it's all booked out already?

Otherwise there are some campings spots about 15k's out at Burrubup Pool (and Workers Pool), free as far as I know (not sure if you have to book through Parks & Wildlife or someone like that though).

I don't think open fires are allowed till the end of the month so could be cold!

Otherwise try the B&B's I suppose.

Last resort would be camping wherever and paying for a shower at the caravan park I suppose. I've got plenty of space to pitch a tent but we're 15k's in the wrong direction from Nannup (ie towards Pemberton), and well we're only using a pit toilet and camp shower set up ourselves.

[kernsy]

Yeh i finally got a place i think everything is booked out because of the race and because of some farm fair day of something like that

[Sam23]

Hi, I live in Perth...
suburb is Martin (probably never heard of it) but its near Orange Grove.
i sometimes ride at Bull Creek bmx track (wen I'm at mates house)
i ride at my house(got some jumps),sometimes go on 60ft falls tracks and some other tracks in hills.
i ride a STP 2 with Da bomb Dax stem, oury grips.
any one live round here?

[Daniel J]

G-day mate, welcome to the crew. Your right, I have no idea where that is :p.

I make it down to the BMX track when I cant get out to any good tracks, give my fit about of a workout, even if it is a street bike still goes well, enjoy getting my hardtail out for it every now and then, but 150mm forks are not suited for it haha.

[jp funk]

soooo pumped for nannup anyone else on here going!

[J@CkSON]

hey guys im form perth, well not exactly i live in a place 3 hours south of it called dunsborough

[jp funk]

hey guys im form perth, well not exactly i live in a place 3 hours south of it called dunsborough cool is there any good riding locations round there?

[backdoor]

I used to live in dunsy, not all that many hills (without a new estate in the way) but there's a few fun ones. Good dirt around the place though

[devilmachine]

Howzit, Iv been in perth for about 6 months, moved over from NZ. Only brought a P2 with Z1's on it over with me due to weight bs and had to part with my dh rig. Looking at building up a V10 now tho. Looking for some oldish buggers like myself to ride with/cause havoc. Goatfarm is the only place Iv found so far so any help would be mint. Haven't sorted a 4x4 yet cause the bike comes first so anything in riding distance from a train would be sweet. ooking for 4x tracks etc to....

[bighit3nz]

I'm in Inglewood.

Devilmachine, I bought my bike with other stuff checked in as cargo cost $450 for 100kg.
How old are you? I'm 31. I've riden up at the goat farm a few times so if ya want to go for a ride sometime, send me a pm.

Cheers Corey.

[Leevers]

I'm ashamed to say it, but I broke my wrist doing the first at Bullcreek BMX track. I can do the jump no problem but when you start to picture yourself stacking it and then continue to do the jump.. well, thats a different story :D

That was when I was riding BMX, now riding a hardtail haha.

[rexhunta]

Hey I'm from Australind, just getting into it. Moved from the very expensive playing with cars to something thats atleast going to get my fit and off my ass.

[SixShooter]

I am XC rider from Subiaco, any bikers from this area around:confused:

[phillywa]

I'm from beckenham, xc rider and a bit of downhill as well

[Rexy]

Gday guys.
I'm Rex, 17 years old and work at Fleet Cycles Mandurah to pay for my cycling fetish.
I ride an Ironhorse Mk3 4X, an NS Streetlegal and a Colony Endeavour.
I'm racing the state 4X series in U19's, and race at the Mandurah BMX track every Saturday.
I've started racing downhill this year in sport class and so far I'm loving it.
I also love trail riding, Jarrahdale is my current haunt but I am always on the lookout for new spots and riding buddies.
Additionally I spend plenty of time riding park (Mandurah and Rockingham mainly) and street on little wheels.
Give me a shout if your keen to do MTB gates at Mandurah BMX track, need a lift to a race or know of any good trailriding spots...

[AiDeN J]

im a mandurah boy:)

Justified.

I broke up with my now ex about 2 months ago, enjoyed riding bliss until about a week ago I found a nice new girl. However, she dances as much as I ride, so the bitch aint got nothing to complain about.

[Rexy]

Haha thanks Cozwa.
If only there was a chainless class, I'd have it in the bag!
One day I might have another go at it (intentionally this time), I actually quite enjoyed my chainless runs!
Plus it provides great ammo for the spectators at the rock garden; "PEDDAAAAAL!".
Who is going to Golden Grove?

[Bradster]

I'm going to golden grove... i tried to get out there this weekend through a friend of a friend but that didnt eventuate so i went to the goatfarm with a wetsuit, a raincoat, and a towel but still got drenched...but the mud riding was fun :)

Golden grove should be wicked and the forecast looks promising.

[NH_]

mmm golden grove will be my first ride on my new bike, just like it was last year, i love that track

but this year i have clips so im gonna make up a fair bit of time in the open bits so in other words all the way down

[kernsy]

Yeh i am going to try go if it is not raining

[J@CkSON]

cool is there any good riding locations round there?
yer it's not bad its got a few trails a few minutes away form my house but theres some pretty good dirt jumps around the place.
