Drops to practice on- Eastern suburbs

[botcolon]

Just wondering if anyone is nice enough to point out some drops in and around Bayswater/Basin/Montrose/Boronia/Kilsyth etc...

The terrain is there, its just hard to know where to look.

PM me if you don't want to give away the spots.

i'm not from your way, but isnt there a legal track at killsyth?

[rickazz]

ride the mt dandenong dh course it has a few small drops and a little bit of beginner free ride stuff at the bottom in the trails all at the bottom.

[botcolon]

how beginner? I am probably looking towards intermediate to advanced now. I already know of drops in the 6-8ft range but wanting to improve on this. Just need a bigger challenge.

I have been meaning to do this course. Just haven't had the time.

[botcolon]

I haven't heard of a track with drops? Any more information?

[norcotim]

hey mate there are three drops to downramp at the ferntree gully kfc they range from 1 metre to 2 metre high with a fair gap (say 5 metres on the largest,4 on the second and about a metre on the first)

[botcolon]

prefer in the bush as we don't want any trouble. Been sessioning the montrose brick works but have run out of new things to drop. Wanting to go a little bigger.

Ahh, ye olde brickworks. Which drops where you doing there? The little one with the landing some kids made? Or the on off one of the roots of the big tree next to the main roll-in? Pity brickies is dead. Good times. You sound like you from the area. Where abouts are you located? I know of a few drops and some decent lines around the area. There not that big though. 6' max. But shoot me over a pm, and we can talk.

we session anything available at brickies. I made recently a new drop onto the new pallet (new pallet of two next to each other). Its about 6-8ft I think. Work Bayswater so local by day.

Bump..
They keep getting built and dozed..
I reckon someone should put it to the council and make into some proper DJ's..

You dreaming mate. People should jsut give up on brickies. It will never return to its former glory. (meaning, 6-7 years ago, not just 3 years ago when there were a few jumps). Too many people walk in that area now, and it's in Montrose, which is full of "greenies".

And the amount of damage to the local area that those jumps has created is just terrible. Legalisation won't happen.
