Just a random Texan in Australia riding most trails poorly. I'll be honest, I am not that good - but I am happy to share what I've done, especially if it inspires you to get out and have a go. Ride safe!

Creswick, VIC W7 descent

Unfortunately, not my fastest run down- was a bit stiff. Add in a headwind and I’m 10s slower than my usual! Still a great trail regardless, despite that brutal climb when unassisted.

Just a nice steady cruise during a beautiful late arvo.

Nothing like a (very) late arvo / golden hour ride through Creswick. I am not sure many trails can top a easy cruise down G4 and that view of the lake.

Go Shawn! doing it for the dads, hah. love it.
So good man! What an epic day riding bikes!
Nice clean run Shawn!
Thanks mate!
Yeah shawn🔥
So scary to watch ,,,,thriller level,,,,
Wet af
That was a great run. Don’t know about that noisy guy at the end 😂
Mate that was so good! Conditions were terrible but you killed it!
yeahhh mate!
Wow wow wow
Nice man
Nice run Shawn.
How have I not commented on this yet? 🤣
Ain't no way my man tried to squash a double while going 25 mph
I did everything I could possibly do wrong when dropping in- hard to imagine that was 6 broken ribs and a bunch of ligament damage. Glad I’m generally not as silly now.
Congratulations to you both 🎉🎉🎉
Death 😂- I mean that’s one way to describe it
Great riding brother 👊
You guys are looking awesome!
Yep, that hurt!
good gob
Yieeew! 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah dude! Looks like you're cruising dowm there!
Definitely cruising, lol! To go faster gotta start jumping more... which, errr... :D
Good job
First
Yeah dude!
Go dada
Love you dad he’s my dad
Wow! what a great track, really has a bit of everything including a decent sized gap at 2:13
It's so good. There is riding, then there is having fun. Personally, Maldon is where I go to be happy. This is also the easiest trail - the rest are harder, but not that (I am going to kill myself) hard.
@@shawndurraniau sounds great
Nice. Can you shuttle back to the top?
Hey mate, yeah you can- it’s super easy and has a sealed road. Probably one of the best places to shuttles as you can beat riders down. There are some guys that put on shuttle days and we always go- they are such an awesome crew. Search for Maldon MTB Shuttles group on Facebook.
@@shawndurraniau and it looks like you can camp there. For the 1 hr trip, I can't believe I haven't been there.
@@davidwhite9817 It's soooooo good! My favourite for descending - just for those reasons (easy shuttles, can camp, not busy, amazing rough trails, nearby, etc)
Good video
Thanks mate!
Well ridden, it’s a bloody hard track
Thanks Will. I’d love to get back and ride it with a DH bike... as well as the proper VDHS track bunting. I had no idea what was part of the track...!! Maybe next year I’ll have a go.
@@shawndurraniau make sure to get a GoPro clip so you can see how much you improved. I’m gonna post a video on it soon since I just got back from a trip there.
Hey shawn, love these videos and you should keep uploading! Double blacks are pretty gnarly too up that way. I hope you enjoyed the festival. btw dont click that link.
Thanks mate, much appreciated! Yeah, that comment was definitely suspect, I’ve reported it as spam. The festival was such good fun. I hope next year I can do most, if not all, VDHS rounds.
Nice! maybe a 2x speed in the editing should get the strava segment crown! Clean run too.
Hell yeah!
Slow motion compared to you!
@@shawndurraniau just do what I do and speed your footage up!
Nice, vid. You are progressing really well mate. Keep it up! yes i know you were't carrying the camera too.
Haha- I wish! That’s my friend Matt riding! I should make that clearer.
I never knew I needed this video in my life!
Well, pretty soon you get to see and hear the damage in real life!
@@shawndurraniau I can't wait!
I love this trail, I've also stuffed that same corner at the start a few times myself.
Yeah, I've tried a couple of lines and completely failed. Then I saw one of the semi-pro riders hit and they went above that silly root in the corner and made it look easy! Doh!
@@shawndurraniauI did a few times at Xmas and managed to get it right. I came in high at the first root and then dropped in tight to the inside of the corner from there. I saw you and had a chat halfway down the top part of Hero when I was there last.
they are tiny jumps how can you not clear them. I backflip them
Awesome, share your video of you doing them- would love to see.
Brake check on the second berm about 10 metres prior roll up the top an slide down early in to the inner lone 🖖👌
Hehe- will give it a try, going to be there on Tuesday... albeit it’s going to be wet. 😬☠️
@@shawndurraniau I wanna come ! But I’m stuck down here 🤣
I enjoyed Tuesday this week smashing dh runs
Nice one Shawn, Abom is such a fun track. Looking forward to getting back up there soon.
nice vid mate looks like fun i cant wait to go there sometime keep the vids up mate there sick keep shredding mate and i also liked and subbed
Thanks mate- surely will see you on the trails around town!
Hahaha I'm inspired to try some jumps! :D Hilarious vid
Except, you gotta clear the jump- not just case each one ;)
I love this! The counter is awesome
Pete Donohue It was way more work than I thought- but will be funny whenever we can revisit to compare!
Did u shuttle or use the push up tracks
I almost always miss the shuttles days- so usually can push up from the bottom about 4-5 times. Most of us locals will only ride half way down and just section the top half though. Some of our more fit crew will ride up (that’s nuts).
solid effort, full send
A-ha I've ridden that track like 50 times
nice riding bro.. road gap next time?
Blue Line Rider Mate- gotta long way before I can start hitting gaps. End of summer hope to get my jumping a bit more nailed down...! I’m still in that place where I can hit double, but choose not too. That ain’t good. 🤦🏽♂️
@@shawndurraniau sounds exactly like myself.
Wooh, were they ok?
If I remember correctly, Mal rode the rest of the day- but weeks(?) later found out she had a fracture in her neck. All good now and she is racing harder than ever. She’s a total legend.
OMG! you're lucky to be back riding! Keep at it!
Ash Wagers Thanks mate- my riding has come a bit after breaking all those bones! Your video on Reddit was sweet- only hit up the sierras for the first time at the start of the year. Loved your edit.
@@shawndurraniau Hey thanks man! You should come back! One thing I noticed about your bike setup that has always thrown me off. The long stem to your bars. A lot of trail bikes have it, but usually bmx, and DH bikes have a stem that attaches right from the top rather than craning out. When jumping that always makes being in the air feel super unbalanced and often ends up in bucking you like what happened here. If you get a chance to try a stem with little or no offset I'd suggest giving it a go! Can't wait to see more of your progression!
Ash Wagers - that’s my 120mm trail bike... I’ve also got an Enduro and DH bike that aren’t quite so long.
Shawn Durrani oh nice! You got it then! 🙌🏻😁
