[hardtails4life]

i was wanting to go and ride out at he you yangs and i was wndering if poeple knew were some good spots were out there, as i have never been out their before i have no idea of the area so any information would be good!
cheers:D

[roxy12]

to do what exactly?

the downhill track is hartailable, theres lots of rocks and rol downs, theres some xc tracks with basic NS to prevent erosion, but nothing tech of course.

[downhiller_1]

since this is in the dirt jump/4x/urban/trials forum, im guessing you want to know about any jumps and 4x tracks, well i went out there about 2 weeks ago and theres not much jumps and stuff there. more downhill tracks and freeride to be done there

[Shorerider]

theres not much jumps

So I'm guessing you haven't seen the new dirt jumping area?

[ajay]

Ive heard about it, but where exactly is it?

[lucco]

theres djs at western plantation area of the park. if i was you just head up to the top of stockyards, have a good look at the map and choose tracks that you think look like fun and are your standard. theres plenty of fun, fast xc tracks plus a dh up near the top. plenty to keep you going for a whole day.

Theres a new dirt jumping area! Are they good? How many jumps are there?

[zstreetco]

this is also news to me, but ye dude the DH tracks there are awesome fun

[ozzy osbourne]

I been out there and the only jumps that i could find where the ones in the tracks and there is some in the area where the GMBC Decent comp course and the new course leed to. They are small but a bit of fun. I do it on a Hardtail so it would be fine.

[fatnold]

there is a whole jump park over the plantation side. pretty new.

[Wake Jake]

The new track is great for a hardtail.

Nice and flowy with quite a bit of north shore.

[Randy Rhoads]

So around how may dirt jumps are there? I dont want to watse my time going out there if there is 3 or something.

[wkkie]

There are 4 sets (4 jumps in each) of table tops running along side each other, starting small, 30cm ish. Getting up to 1.5 ish meters. If your a dirt jumper in melbourne, eg. hitting up diamo, you wont be inpressed. But they are ok if your average or starting out.

I am from Geelong, around a 30 minute drive. Are they built well?

[wkkie]

Yeah, nice and solid, wont break down in a hurry.

That 12K loop in the western plantation is pretty good too. Flat all the way, ride it in either direction, as fast as you want, with some small jumps and creek in and outs, some skinnys to ride too to test the skills. Good work to GMBC for a great place to ride, all of the you yangs! Good work guys.

Cool. I probably wont be going down for that so thanks for the pics.

[JARRY]

wheres they plantation?

[HardNRG]

could someone plese give me directions on how to get to the west plantation and where are they located in there.
much appreciated.

[Fusion]

They look like a bit of fun. Seeing as it's the You Yangs, I guess no one would mind if someone were to post up a nice detailed map of how to get to those jumps?
