Mid week after work riding is about as good as it gets. But living in a big city can make it tough to get it done, luckily for the boys from the bikeNOW shop there is the You Yangs only a 45min drive from the city. Although these trails may not be world cup standard, they are fun to shred on a beautiful summer afternoon with good friends.
A big thanks to the guys for pushing those big bikes around the hills for me to film. LCSVisual is now departing Australia to head back to its homeland of New Zealand. We will be looking for more riders to shoot in NZ, so feel free to message us if you're a Kiwi rider.

You know what, I'm going to just say it.....
I'm sick of the Australian Government and fellow bikers saying "At least we are doing something about it"....... This is what you are doing. You are spending 80% of the funding for trails on cross country.... and I hate it.
You won't build anything in our national parks for fear of being sued.....
How do they not understand that our ski hills would make a ten fold profit during our 10 month riding season compared to their 2 months of worlds worst snow.
A network of trails anything like any bike park in North America or Europe and people would come to Australia to ride, but instead.... everyone who buys a DH bike ends up over in BC or New Zealand......... get it together Australia, I love you but your a *unt
End rant
That said Most Aussies just don't get the Freeride/Enduro/Allmountain side of the sport. They are still either XC or DH, Endorphin junkies or Adrenaline junkies. f*ck it I want both and I want to have fun not race. Also you won't get shot here for trespassing so build your own shit. If they tear it down build it better. The north shore got that way cause people didn't give up their trails.
If you build it they will come.
"If you build they will come"........... very true, just look at Whistler.
