How good is it! The new top section is so much fun! Rode it a few weekends ago, have a video of it but haven't gotten around to doing anything with it.

This is just outside of Georgetown Tasmania, at Tippogoree Hills 😊

Hey, cheers! Glad you enjoy it! Just using a chin mount on my fullface helmet, shooting on a Hero 10 Black at 4k60 with super or hyper view. -0.5ev comp and grade colours a little bit in Premiere Pro 😊

It's such a good trail, love it - but yeah the climb up is a bit of work... ebike definitely helps 😅

We really are lucky with such awesome landscapes to ride through! :)

On one hand, it's great it's so close to town! On the other hand, yeah, it really is noisy. Can't say the exhaust I have ever noticed, but noise is for sure bad.

@@IBCMTB Right down the bottom you'll get exhaust fumes if its not a windy day. Not ideal when you're breathing hard! The noise is a real turn off. I tend to avoid these sections and get out to the back trails asap... I can see why people made some self built trails there back in the day, but I question council deciding to spend money on them here. Had to have been some nicer places around!

Hey, thanks for your watching! Pick of the lot out of the Wild Mersey would be starting in Railton, heading down Woodhooker, up Ewoks and across to Sheffield trails to the top, down Syked Out (and check out the double black on the way), Down 7 Shreds into Gnarvana, then a quick loop around Echidn Me. Pretty solid lap though, I think around 700-900m very from memory. Likely to be fairly wet out that way with all the rain recently, Latrobe tend to hold up better, but that's more on the green/blue side of things. Another fantastic option is Iron Tor in Penguin. Solid climb up but is the best descent in the NW (in most people's opinions at least), descent holds up to wet weather really well, climb can get a bit soggy in spots.

Also just a tip re Railton, you can park at a few different spots, 'official' trailhead is in Railton, but you can park on Newbed Road (at the top of Super Hornet) and skip ~100vm climb, OR, can also park at Stoodley Forest Arboretum at top of Ewoks climb

@@IBCMTB awesome man thanks so much! I did Penguin last week! (That super rainy day) Iron Tor was crazy! So good!!

Have to be close up there! Best for learning/progressing on for sure, it's really approachable for having quite big jumps! Will probably be fairly wet next weekend though so maybe not as good as in summer, the bottom section is still closed too, so the full trail isn't open yet.

Yeah it really is! Looks like they're redoing the club up too, the part from the end of Flow Monster back to the start (where K's starts) is just as smooth and a pleasure to cruise up. Looking forward to trying the whole thing when the rest is complete.

Same! It was surprising how intrusive the highway noise is, I think it was commented on at some point during the ride. On the other hand, I'm sure it's nice to have something so close to the city to ride too

@@IBCMTB Definitely, that noise always gets my "put them all on bikes" senses tingling -- well, repetitive urban journeys are relatively easier by ebike than car, because the cars can't fit if there are too many of them, the speeds are dangerous for accessibility, and they make tremendous noise that echoes everywhere (including apparently to negative health effects). 🚲🚲🚲⛐

Haha, yep! Video would be hours longer if I included it all! Where abouts did you run out, not too far from the end I hope?

@@IBCMTB no thankfully only a few hundred metres before the drop.down to the car park !

@@scottcole9205 well that's not too bad! Imagine running out on that climb just after the end of the blue loop 💀

They're at the Penguin Mountain Bike Park 👍

It's a third-hand 2020 Trek Rail 7, but with mostly all new parts :)

Oh noo! Nothing broken I hope?? It's definitely claimed a few people haha

@@IBCMTB no brakes.. A lot of lost skin.. I hit it fine on my first run. Second was a dive.. Landed about where you slid to. Went over the bars to a full roll being my first point of contact to the ground. Lol.. From not on I wear long sleeves!!

@andObrian where I slid to? Crikey thats a hell of an overshoot. Good to hear you're (mostly) okay 👍

@@IBCMTB yeah man where you ended up was me rolling and having the bike land on my back hahaja

Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks - yep it definitely is, this ride was a 40km 1200m vert day, easily twice what I would have done on the other leg power only bike

Ooof, yeah I bet that hurt for a while! Bigger step/drop and chunkier than it looks on video for sure! Going in to try and race this completely blind would be nigh impossible, props for even having a crack!

@@IBCMTB Oh yeah, the video makes it look so flat.

Planning on it! Have to harden up and try that gap too 🤔 Definitely get a praccy lap or two in if you can! Having the right line down this seems to make a big difference, prob worth watching some of the vids from this weekend if you can

@@IBCMTB Even better, planning on watching the pros tackle it in person !

Would have to be one of mine now too, don't know why I haven't really done it much!

I just visited Derby and never did it, I kept choosing air ya garn as it’s insane! I’ll definitely do this one next time!

🤔 they definitely do. One of the longest-standing bike shops on the main street (Evolution) is ebike focused, they're commonly hired too.

Grow up. If your ego is looking for a trip ride a Emtb hard and fast flowing non stop up and down at Derby and enjoy the FUN of the ultimate technology man has created for enjoying ourselves. They are not for racing just Fun Fun Fun and that's what Derby is all about. E=Mtb²

Sure they do, they're everywhere. I live 15 mins away by car and ride there (35 mins or so) and up the trails because my partner and I I ave an ebike

It's so good!

Hella steep, took a bit of thinking before having a go haha

Thanks!

It's epic, sneakily hoping they put a more direct climb in to the top 😅 Definitely a hike, but worth it

Thanks again!

Thanks! It's fun being able to show off the epic trails we have, glad people like watching my sometimes mediocre riding haha!

Agreed

It's an absolute hoot, my fav GTown trail so far!

Possibly! Work during the week but always up for a weekend spin 👍

@@IBCMTB I reckon I'll head there Saturday if your keen Send me a message if you still have my number I broke My last phone and lost everyone's number haha

I wasn't sure what was going on haha, I think I might have accidentally come down in the middle of a kid's race group & felt a bit bad lol

Yeah, I loved it, definitely has some trouty-like spirit and creativity. I really like when a trail has a lot of elevation change style features, up & overs combined with steep dips into catches etc. Hope there's more like it!

@@IBCMTB I'm quite impressed with what they have built there so far. Very keen to see what those unfinished trails are going to be like.

Haha truth! Definitely doesn't quite do it justice 😅 Thanks for watching!

Hey, the Hero11 really helps with that, but otherwise, I do use protune on the GoPro and do some colour grading and image adjustment in post to help get the most out of it. The settings you export out of Premiere other other video editors really matter too. For sound I actually don't use the "wind" mode and prefer to have a windslayer on with mics set to stereo

No kidding haha! Just took that mass amount of rain to get things moving and down she all goes 😵

Ooh, sneaky! Cheers, I'll have to check that out! 👍

🤣🤣

Thanks man! Loved your Dambusters vid and looking forward to the next one! Was genuinely surprised at your sub count, can see the amount of effort you've put in! 👍

Oh, and hot damn the average speeds at Thredbo look fast 😳

@@IBCMTB That they are!
