Video: Blake Nielsen and Michael Vanos Shred Australia's Blue Mountains
Born and bred in the Blue Mountains of Australia, Blake Nielsen & Michael Vanos pride themselves on being loose units on the trails and simple folk at heart, enjoying nothing more than bikes, brews and good times with their mates. While they have both travelled far and wide, these two shredders still call the dusty, blown out trails of Glenbrook home, pushing each others limits without a timing system in sight.
Based in Sydney, Pro Mount Billet design and manufacture innovative mounting systems for GoPro's and Garmin's, which are used by the likes of Curtis Keene and these two lads, all of which have no plans to slow down any time soon...

There's a bit of the knapsack downhill in there, the whoop whoop section after the fire road, by the look of it.
Really fun riding down that way.
