THe trials guys have skills. These boys have knacca's!



I reckon this would make DTM's elbow tingle!

Amazing!
But the inevitable injuries ..
One bad mistake could cripple you or kill you or leave you with injuries you'll carry for the rest of your life.
I don't like extreme sports that encourage young kids to take big risks.

Awesome control and skill

WOW I have never seen those downhill trial guys before. The consequense for mistakes is severe.
Also I wouldnt want to live at the bottom of town and have to work at the top, or perhaps the other way around

Hey SUP DOC, quite a few of us in Sydney still MTB - Goatie, Jedjunglesnow and myself.
DTM used to build the gnarliest 'northshore' style drops around here until he absolutely creamed himself. Thats pretty much when he and Goatie picked up SUP.
I still ride whenever I can for overall fitness. I recently signed up for the the 'single track mind', series but had to pull out due to the left wing being out of action.

Couldn't agree more - there is no better combo for overall fitness and clearing the mind going from ocean to bush.

As you say these videos are the extreme.
There are so many awesome, smooth single tracks around here from Menai, to Ourimbah and Awaba where you can fang around at mach speed and not leave gthe ground - just watch those tree's!

Just like SUP you don't need to backdoor pipe or Back-bombies to have fun!

Yeah the boys have mellowed a bit since Dan broke his elbow, but we still have some of the best riding right on our doorstep and it's too good a sport not to do. Nothing beats a SUP in the morning and then a ride in the arvo once the sea breeze kicks in to cool things down.

And Dan got back into it last weekend for the first time since his accident. We hit up Stromlo where he went straight out for a 3 and a half hour ride!

Here we are pre SUP:

Ahh the old Mtn Bike days!!

Been getting back into it lately for the fitness. This is 8 min from my house in pristine bushland.....pic was taken before I broke too many different parts of the old body:

Yes but we prefer to not have an engine...
