If you live in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney you should know Centenial park,
and if you search around the dog walking part (north part of the park) you can actually fine some pretty good stuffm, like theres a really big and pretty step role in that gos on to the top road 'its fun and it feels good to do' and you find some really good jumps and drops in the grassy open part and in the foresty part but just be careful not to ride after rain because the rangers will chase you and the dog walkers get angry if you go to close to them so look out! I ride there some times when im bored and it can be good fun.:D

Do you post on Farkin when you are bored too?

Centennial Park is shite when wet because the sand will kill any brakes and any drivetrain. The dog walkers are shit and their dog shit everywhere.

The sandstone bits are great fun for drop-off and roll over practice.

Queens Park is fun for DH practice. Short, sweet, dodge the walkers...

You know the underground water thing, i dont Know what it is, but yeah its at the top north part of the park, you know the road along the top, if you ride along towards the east, you will come across the large stone wall on your right, its got stairs to the top, and then just jump on your bike and hit it, stay right over the back of the bike because when you get to the bottom of the role in you could easily go over the front, and keep an eye out for cars at the bottom, we wouldn't want anyone getting hurt.
And the drops are down the other end of the road, but serioulsly its not worth a big trek to ride, Its only if your really bored and you live around the area and you want to go for a ride.:rolleyes:

The locals used to call it the poo slalom...

I'd advise not going there because the dog owners have a fit now and the rangers are getting bolder.
