I was wondering if any of you guys had pics or info on the you yangs dirt jumps. I spied them in the back of the Skills thread pictures but couldnt find anything else.How do they ride?
cheers.

umm i was out there yesterday the jumps arnt to bad there are bulit like BMX jumps but i didnt have to much trouble on my dually if your out at you yangs there worth having a look at and they just built some north shore lines and there abit of fun

[patto_15]

There is dirt jumps at you yangs now?? Anyone got pics of them?

They must be new, cos i havnt seen them and i was there about a month ago...

[jjperko]

^ Not worth the trip if your a seasoned dirt jumper. From the pics I've seen theres notthing wrong with them but not steep enough to be trickable really or even just to pump.

Speaking of new stuff at YY I walked and had a look at the new DH track (not open for riding yet) and it looks ok, way different to the old track with no hucks to flat! (can you believe it). A bit pedally though and also a massive bermfest.

[patto_15]

Damn, i was visioning nice steep kickers and landings! Grrr... Should be some fun on the Dh rig though :p

Yeah, i cant wait for the new track to be open! I havnt seen it but i hear its meant to be pretty rad :rolleyes:

[gudstarf]

hmm, sorta what i was thinkin, still good to just crap around on hopefully

[randy spangler990]

nah the jumps arn't that great, and i wouldn't think of doing any big tricks on them maybe a x-up at the most, and when i was there the downramps had chunks missing out of them, they may have fixed them up, and there not worth the trip but, i'd go there if i were near them for th new north shore
but thats my two cents

[gudstarf]

bugga, oh well the north shore does look nice (best stuff i will ever do)

[xtreme88]

Ive been tryin 2 get 2 you yangs 4 ages, so isnt the DH track open yet?? and is the north shore stuff on the XC tracks?

[Hobbsy]

could anyone inform me where you yangs is, help would be greatly appreciated:)

[Booost]

buy the latest AMB from your newsagent it has heaps of info on the location of You Yangs and its trails...

[ozzy osbourne]

The You Yangs are about half way between Geelong and Melbourne. You wont miss them because they a big mountain on flat plains. When you get there go to the parks office and ask the tourism people and they will give you a map and a fairly good idea of where to go. There is two places the XC and DH tracks that are on the north side of the mountain. Down drysdale road to the car park. The skills area is in the western plantation are just near the parks office.
Hop this helped on directions
PS. You might see a car with bikes on it then just follow them.

I went to You Yangs last month and the skills area at the Western Plantation has been completetly demolished. But i found this place where there was 1 long North Shore Balancing thing, then a bit of single track and ended up with these big Table Tops they are pretty fun. Dont remember where it was though

first tym isnt a word.
second, I find it highly unlikly that little kids, would be able to ride the new DJ's... maybe the old ones, but the new ones, off the great circle track, at the right angle turn before the straight that runs along the fence. bout 3/4 from the gate, to the main carpark.

the jump to berm is great fun, and very hard to get going smoothly.
