Video: Sydney, Australia Has Mountain Biking, But No Mountains

Jan 24, 2019 at 3:45
by Yama Folk  



We wanted to do something different with this film. Most Australian mountain bike edits are full throttle - balls to the wall, think Chris Kovarik drifting fireroads to a death metal track. This isn’t that, if that’s what you’re expecting you’ll be disappointed. If you’re after something of that nature, go watch “Drift III” (2006), an awesome Aussie mountain bike film, Google it.

Mountain bike websites are filled with amazing short films showcasing some of the best riding, mountain ranges and scenery out there. You won’t see too much of that from Sydney (Australia), frankly because there aren’t any mountains, and to be honest, barely any hills here. The majority of Sydney-siders have no idea; most people here think mountain biking in Sydney is what they saw in BMX Bandits (1983). We’re so far off cities like Vancouver, where the general population have a good idea of what mountain biking actually entails. We don’t really expect people in Sydney to know, bless them. Remember - there aren’t any mountains here! Despite this, Sydney’s trail network and mountain biking community are growing steadily; and just like the time you thought you were making love to the one of your dreams (but it was a dream), this is happening through the wonderful powers of denial.

There are some awesome pockets of bushland around Sydney, most of which isn’t utilised by the masses. Our theory is that most people here don’t even know it’s there; they don’t go looking for it because that’s not what Sydney “is”. The Sydney vibe is basically The Harbour Bridge and Bondi beach and the "piccolo-espresso-double shot-extra hot-on a 50/50 blend of almond and soy" folk.

'In Denial' takes a brief look into the mindset of mountain bikers living in a city with no elevation. It’s definitely the wrong mindset for our geographical location, but it’s starting to work out alright through the hard work and resourcefulness of a lot of trail builders and clubs like the Garigal Gorillas. Massive props to them.

Shout out to two up and coming Aussie bands for letting us use their tracks.

 I’m not an expert on Sydney by any means — I’ve only spent two weeks of my life there. But it seems to me hills aren’t lacking, and the terrain has all kinds of potential, with all the bluffs and rocks on the coastline. The issue would have to be access to that terrain. Cities are just developed to the point where there is limited access to the good stuff.

 Sydney MTBer here: the north side of Sydney isn't flat by any means. There aren't any mountains, granted, but there are plenty of hills (~100m or so elevation) and some great rocky/technical terrain.

 Great video. Great style.

In Denial probably wasn’t the best name. Even kind of bratty and spoiled sounding — since a lot of us would kill for that elevation and terrain closeby.

Clearly some privilege with the whole Land Rover theme (which i liked btw). Nothing wrong with having privilege; just be a little respectful with how you frame it next time.

Going back to Arkansas again this spring...another place with no real mountains.

 If there's anything to take away from the video, it's to take what you need and leave what you don't. The way I see it, if you don't like the hipster filters, deny that and enjoy the riding and message. I did.

 I like the video but, Sydney actually has quite a lot of elevation for a major global city even within the suburbs, to go along with that it's at the foot of the (under utilised in an MTB sense) Blue Mountains and the "Mountains" of the Illawarra Escarpment are also close in relative terms. NSW has some huge potential, the dirt I recently rode at Mt Keira (Wollongong) was awesome.
  • 6 4
 You're certainly right about the Blue Mountains and Wollongong, amazing riding around both those areas. The future of mountain biking in Wollongong is looking pretty bright too, keen to see what happens down there over the next few years. More good things to come hopefully. In the film we were more referring to mountain bikers that live in the CBD of Sydney. Wanted to show that it might not be in the same realm of cities like Vancouver for mountain biking, but there is still plenty of fun to be had.
  • 1 0
 @YamaFolk: there are not many cities like Vancouver. I lived in Sydney for 2 years, the scene in the West was excellent.
  • 4 0
 @YamaFolk: there used to be a bunch of riders that would meet wed night and do a mtb/bmx ride around the CBD when it was quiet that was a lot of fun, lots of jumps and rails to be found if you knew where to look.
rotorburn.com where where they used to advertise the rides.
  • 6 2
 Although Sydney may not have the elevation of Vancouver I’ll happily take the weather here in Sydney. There’s plenty of elevation in my local area but f#cked if I want all of sydney there. Leave them in the cafes and fighting for the waves at their local beach. I have 2 bits of advice for you sir 1. Don’t be condescending to people that don’t ride mtb, each to their own as it were. 2. Definitely don’t be condescending when driving a hipster Land Rover while drinking your filter coffee probably with almond milk out of a Land Rover cup. By the way your riding is good enough to not need to judge others.

 @Stumpy2: Definitely didn't intend for it to be condescending, but after re-reading it can see how it might have came across like that. Advice taken on board.

 @Stumpy2: Dude don’t be hating on hipsters, Land Rovers and almond milk... This is an amazing short film, with sick riding and a message about the power of community and passion.
  • 2 1
 @Stumpy2: agreed. As a sydney-sider who's actually lived in other cities this video annoyed me. We have an amazing MTB scene and so many great places to ride, all within an hour regardless of where in Sydney you live. The video comes across as a spoilt dude taking an amazing scene for granted. Comparing Sydney to Vancouver (or Whistler) which is likely the greatest MTB spot in the world is ridiculous.
  • 2 0
 @Earlysport: Sorry to hear that, it's a shame you interpreted it like that, definitely wasn't the intention of the film.

The aim was to show that whilst Sydney might not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of mountain bike destinations, there is still plenty of fun to be had. Even in a big city like Sydney.
  • 4 0
 @Earlysport: I think you have missed the message. Every trail network in Sydney has come to fruition from a hard fought denial of the status quo. Sydney truthfully doesn’t the most “amazing scene” but it’s always been about making the most with what you have. Which I think is what this film is about.

 @YamaFolk: Hi! Sydney-sider living in the USA calling in to leave two cents. I read your dialogue as the tongue-in-cheek dry Sydney style of humour, if that helps!

Your edit gave me all of the emotions. I lived in Whistler for a decade and when I came home to Sydney there was this yearning to live and ride freely in the mountains. It's like this huge sense of loss which sounds utterly ridiculous but it's so real! You learn to find happiness in what you have, adjust and appreciate it. It's not coming from a place of superiority, just from the experiences you've been exposed to in another time and place in your life.

I live in the states now and every time I head back to Sydney am so impressed with the progress of land access and trail networks being developed. The community is small but passionate - love it!

I enjoyed the edit thoroughly, thank you.

Over-sharing over and out.

 There aren't, there are hills certainly but the closest mountain is in the blue mountains which being national park has a few trails but we are mostly locked out of the national parks unless we can put up a good argument and beat the local hippies into allowing trails (hornsby came about after lots of meetings and us fighting tooth and nail for it to be allowed, luckily common sense prevailed and we got our trails.

 What would've made this video better - a list of the trails! Always looking for more trails!

I'm guessing they're all northern beaches/upper north shore?

Whilst there is bugger all elevation, there is very legit tech in those areas.
  • 3 1
 Yep Nth beaches/ St Ives, most are mapped on Trailforks.

You're right about the tech around there, the rock to dirt ratio is certainly favouring the rocks.

 @YamaFolk: Aha, I thought it was around St Ives/Cascades! I used to ride there years ago before I moved to Brisbane, and recognized some of the trails. Awesome edit of some super-fun, tech trails, and bonus points for avoiding Manly Dam haha.

There is some decent riding in Sydney (Oxford Falls, Narrabeen, St Ives/Terry Hills, Menai in the South and obviously the Gong, Blue Mtns and then Snowy Mountains). Spoilt for choice in BC, but home is home. Great to see an Oz vid.

 Great comment!!! It's the same here in Darwin... place so flat, but we have decent trails thanks to the hard work and persistence of a few. With the Wet Season here, many trails get destroyed or badly overgrown so they require constant maintenance and rebuild. If it wasn't for the efforts of a few heroes, we'd have no trails.

 Nice video. Sydney area has so much potential for worldwide MTB events being surrounded by some of the oldest and largest national parks around. if only the government stop relying on real estate revenue and open up to other ideas like extreme sports. Sorry to get a bit political here. Keep riding.

 @captyvatemedia: From Wollongong also (now between Townsville and Brisbane though) so much untapped potential down there and if the Mt Keira proposal gets up, and with GV onky 25 minutes away, the Gong can truly embrace MTB and have some wicked trails (yes, there are already awesome trails but none are technically legal) that will draw in riders from all over (I know of a large number who are willing to travel from FNQ if Keira goes ahead)

 The surfing sux in Sydney too. The banks rarely have any shape and if there is swell during times when the water is nice there are 10 people fighting for every peak. I quit surfing when I took up mountain biking because it was easier to get a decent ride in than to get a decent surf in.

 In the first minute theres elevation to be had! You want to see flat and no mountains then come to shitty Myrtle Beach,we ride in mounds created by the leftovers from dredging the beaches.You can find sharks teeth if you look hard enough.

 Nice video, but as major cities go, Sydney is hilly AF! You don't have to look to far for places to ride and there's proper big hills within a 1.5 hour drive North, South or West. By the standards of most of the rest of the world it's a MTB paradise! It's not Whistler or Morzine, but no major city is!

 Having lived in Texas, Utah and now Arkansas you don’t need mountains to mountain bike.. you’d be surprised how big mountain biking is in Texas. They have plenty of fun challenging trails all over that damn state. If you got dirt, rocks, roots, wood, tools and the desire to have mtb trails then you’ll have trails.

 Love seeing my local trails in this film. Nice one! And being a Garigal Gorilla, it’s also great being a part of a club really doing something for MTB on the Beaches.

 Well some decent hills and a lot of fun. I was born in Prague and we have some little hills there, barely over 100m high, but I can guarantee, with a few valleys connected together, we have a lot of great trails, technical, fast, definitely good variety. You can do easily 20 - 40 km loop and not doing any trail twice.

You do not need huge mountains to have all the fun.

On other hand, I'm now in Tokyo for a year (well doing my second half now already) and there is nothing. Basically the city is spread on so big area that while there are some hills in far distance, it is not something you can reach on daily basis. And even on the weekend, there are no trails developed (and pretty much forbidden to ride there anyway - protected areas, private land, you name it..). So I would say, let's be happy if there is something and enjoy it. It is better than nothing. Can't wait to be back in my town, getting a new ride and enjoying some great trails with friends.

 Nice film. I grew up right round that area and spent many a day scratching around walking trails trying to ride them as a teenager back in the 90s. Apologies, was probably partly responsible for making access so hard. Good to see some legal purpose built trails. Will bring my bike next time I visit.

 Funny thing is I rode all those trails this morning then saw this video when I got back. I had an 80km( of mostly dirt) loop planned but my back gave me some grief halfway down Bucky's, there's some elevation, but 800m in 50km is normal here in Sydney.

 @Demo8AUT: there are some down south near the nuclear plant most of what you saw was northern beaches, St Ives area has a lot of good trails, hornsby has a smallish mtb park that has a decent blue trail and a nice greet trail. Wylde mtb park out near liverpool is green, is one giant 12km loop with a 3km and 6km cut through so you can decide on how far you want to ride, also has a small jump track, now has toilets and a covered eating area. Do note that some of the trails like manly damn and Wylde close if there is any rain as the trails are mostly clay and get easily damaged in the wet.
for a longer ride catch the train from central station to woodford in the blue mountains and there is a 30km track you can ride down to the base of the blue mountains (oaks trail, most weekends the trains are full of mtbrs heading out to do this trail Smile

 There is a push to develop a real DH track on the edge of the blue mountains around the glenbrook area from memory, there was an illegal one that was discovered. I think the WSMTB might be helping try and push that through Knapsack reserve that was it.
  • 1 0
 You're thinking of "Stringline" in Knapsack.

It was built ages ago, professionally and legally and it is f-king awesome. Finishes with a run through a stormwater drain if you follow it all the way down.

But it's a seriously good trail and worth doing. It's on trailforks, check it out.

It's also surrounded by a spider web of other trails of the more raw and natural variety and very technically challenging.

There's also a pretty good jump line near a massive rock area which is great for playing around in.

 I left Sydney in sixth grade. My clearest memory is a funnel web that my dad caught in a jar. Little tiny thing with big fangs. I took it to school and it got so mad it was pinging off the inside of the jar. Oh, and pouring gasoline down their holes and lighting them. Terrifying things. They'd lie dormant in the bottom of the pool, air bubbles in their fur would keep them alive. Gotta crush them after scooping them out because they're still alive, aggressive and can jump. I've since heard that they're now considered rare but we had loads of them in our yard.

 Sydney sucks for mountain biking. Elevation is not the worst, but everything is rock, sand, or extremely dense bush land (with sand underneath), bush is protected, trails get destroyed, so it’s impossible to build. Traffic is ridiculous so you spend ages trying to get to a trail. There are some of us however that do make the most of it because that’s the only option

 Only people lazy AF need gravity to have fun on a bike. A skill Builder with a shovel in dirt can make magic anywhere. That's the great thing about mountain bikes. No mountains required to get some fun out of them. Don't get me wrong I'm always down for a trip above the Treeline. At the end of the day I've had just as much fun with a gang of hooligans shredding the town.
