Edit: our surroundings aren't "gnarly" man. Nobody lives out in the desert! Most of the inhabited areas of Aus are just boring countryside/farmland or forests (or cities, duh). It's not like we're out there in 40deg heat every day slaving away trying to kill scorpions that we find living under our sand-igloos

cmon mate!!! out west we don t have vehicles.... we ride kangaroos around... try shuttling ya bikes up when you have to gather a large bunch of roos and occy strap ya bikes to their backs... then the ride up is hell... it s so tough out there we used to beat up kids who didn t have vegimite sannies for lunch... 'you little poser and ya pastie have this' <bam smash crack bang oohhhh>



i miss home sometimes... but taking a month off in july 05 to spend in morzine / les gets is pretty hard to take as well...

It was a nationals round... check out the awesomely expensive podium.

yeah i noticed that... great stuff.... i think that makes us pretty unique.. the ability to get by with what we have... to make the most out of any given situiation...

god, that was prolly my most serious post ever...

haha, what I like the most is that nobody gives a shït about the podium, or the fact that our national series pays FA prize money (which is still better than Norba I guess ).

HEre we seriously don't give a damn.
I was talking to some dude in Adelaide who was reminising about the old days when he used to ride against the pro's in QLD. I remember when he said that him and some others were kicking ass when one day some idiot wins a round by 8 secs on a 3min long track on his full ridgid due to a 'timing error'. Next race same thing happens, and that is how Kovarik's state career started.

haha, no shït eh... Rennie started his mtbing career by winning the national dual slalom title or something... when he was 15. Did we ever really have any chance at all against guys like that?!

I take it you didnt get the sarcasm in my post. I was trying to be funny

When it's 35 degrees and 90% humidity, body armour gets a bit uncomfortable.

 

[toodles]

37.8ºC here (Brisbane) right now with 65% humidity...

You can pass out wearing body armour just sitting in the shuttle ute. Plus you don't even want to imagine what a truckload of DHers smells like in this weather.

 

[crashmyster5000]

weeeelllllll, up here in thenorth, its more like 98% humidity and i dont even want to think about the temperature.........it's difficult to breathe, let alone push a dh bike up a hill ??armour???............you think were worried about a few scratches and bruises......


thanks for the pics ive been hanging out for them

I have looked into it and hope to go abroad in the very near future. Preferably to the southern hemisphere. But last time I looked there were no programs that I could find in the regions of countries that I wanted to be in that would suit the needs for my major. Maybe a change of major is in need :devil:

What are you doing?

In Syndey alone there are three big unis alone

www.uts.edu.au
www.usyd.edu.au
www.unsw.edu.au

You are bound to find a program here. Sydney has some sick riding as well but you will need a car to do shuttles in. Thredbo is a 7 hour drive, buller is a 12 hour drive.
