We are a father-son duo who took up mountain bike riding during the Covid lockdown in 2021. I am in my 50s and my son is a teenager, together we want to inspire others young and old to get out there and have a go.
As newbies to the sport, we were inspired by the many MTB Channels that we have learned many of our basics from and found out about the trails we wanted to ride. We decided to document our experience for other newbies, to know they are not alone, and not everyone is a pro when they start out.
We will share our wins and fails as well as the awesome trails that we explore on our journey!

UKI | A crashed have ended my ride.
Join us for an adventure as Dave, Rod & Tom ride at Uki Bike Park! Although we encountered some rain, it didn't stop us from having fun, and the guys managed to clear the much bigger jumps at the park. Unfortunately, I had a crash that ended my ride. Cheers.

Goodbye Thredbo
Переглядів 6825 місяців тому
Once again, we went to Thredbo for the second time this year, just two weeks before the bike park season closed. It was the best time to visit because the park was not very busy, allowing us to ride from the top to the bottom without stopping. It was an awesome feeling to be able to do that. I hope you enjoy this video. 01:02 Intro 03:31 Grasshopper 07:42 Sidewinder 12:09 Cannonball 21:51 Kosci...

We hadn't planned on riding Mt. Narra, but due to the rain, we ended up doing it. We didn't know what to expect and were definitely out of our comfort zone riding this trail, especially in the wet conditions. The ride was rather quick due to the bad weather, but we hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you for watching.

Great video Marc. I’m keen as to get back down there to have a pedal. Not real keen of the peanut butter after it rains. Hope the knee heals up mate.
@@Jbjmtb always a great place to pedal, just not in the wet 😁 have a great Xmas 🎄 catch you for a ride soon.
Man! Doesn't look like Uki likes the rain at all. The amount of mud on the tyres was insane! Great vid 🤘
@@huckyeahmtb doesnt take much for this place to get muddy, i have learnt my lesson no riding in the wet 😄. Cheers mate.
Great vid Marc. DC looks really good. I'm looking forward to riding there in the future.
@@huckyeahmtb Lots of upgrade going on at the moment, we'll do another vids early in the new year. Heal up soon mate! Happy to show you around when youre ready. Cheers.
BlackJack is such a trash trail. Still haven't seen anyone clear a full run. That sucks about your crash dude!
@@DingleBerryMTB not many can clear those jumps, I’m happy just to roll over them 😁. Thanks for watching mate.
Great Video Marc & thanks for being our tour guide for the two days
@@DMMTB was a fun 2 days, cheers mate.
@ indeed it was
Uki is my local. Typically unrideable when its wet.
@@quantumkookaburra Duck Creek is my local. Its clay as well, its unridable if it gets more than 5mm of rain. Cheers for watching mate.
Bugger Marc, so its total shit show after it rains. Looks like your tyre is clogged with mud. I want to get out there again next year, see how the tuned up marin goes
@@Boboo5 you'll be able to lap this place 😄. I'll catch you next year. 👍
Sad ending to a great day. I hope the knee is all good now.
@@RideyRodney Knee is good now, cheers mate.
Great video! how was it dry enough to ride after all this recent rain! I've noticed Duck Creek takes ages to dry out! Lucky it all worked out!
@@On2.Wheels You're not wrong about DC taking a while to dry, we we're lucky, we didnt get much rain leading up to this day.turned out to be a great day. Cheers for watching mate.
Thanks for the tour Marc. Great edit.
@@RideyRodney cheers mate. Awesome day. 👍
hey Marc, thanks for sharing a little local knowledge with me last weekend. duck creek is fun man, I'll be back again!
@@tzeshi Glad you enjoyed it mate. Hopefully its much dryer for you next time. Safe trip. Catch you next time.
Great video Marc. I’m definitely keen to get back down there for a spin with ya.
@@Jbjmtb Look forward to it mate. Ill let you know when the new trails open. 🙂
Great video Marc, probably see you out there soon🤙
@@ltobin78 hoping for some much dryer weather so we can get some consistent ride. Very frustrating with this wet weather. Cheers mate.
Great to catch up with you Marc. Thanks for showing us around your awesome local. Will be back up there at some point. I was surprised at how well you were clearing the jumps from the beginning 🤟
🥰
You can't have momentum without commitment, with commitment comes momentum 😊
Would love to see a video on your bikes and gear 😊
Red Bull Hard-line right there 🥰
@@jeffparryncc1701 gonna have to join me on my next ride mate.
@madaboutmtb.21 Would love to. I haven't ridden since the Black Rock ride. I'm so not fit. My Trek bike broke in half too 😁
@@jeffparryncc1701 hahaha, going to need to fix that first. 😄
@@madaboutmtb.21😁
@@madaboutmtb.21 If you do a ride on the rail trails for a video, count me in.
Go hard or go home son 😂🤣🥰 Love ya work.
Man I miss riding...
Hi Mark, love your office :) Jarrah says hi 🥰
Man you had a jet pack on ⚡️⚡️ ! King Brown is pretty awesome and Dirt Serpant is too but bangers and mash and westies looks so fun too….. even the skill park line you did was banging . That’s a pretty special place there . Is this close to where you live ? Really well ridden and well presented video as always bro 🤘
Hey Mick, Woopi is close to Coffs Harbour, Just under 2hrs drive from Ballina, there are some sick trails to ride here, mostly blues & greens fantastic to see some many familes riding together. cheers Mate.
Fantastic video Marc. Looks like I need a trip down to ride the newest improvements 😊
Cheers Jules. King Brown is such a sick trail. mke sure you check it out. thanks for watching.
When I lived in Canberra a mate and I used to ride there after work every Wednesday, it’s a great place even if we did injure ourselves a bit . Love you zest for life mate , makes me want to get out there and ride
Thanks for watching. I wish I had taken up this sport when I was younger because I truly love it. I have made a whole new group of friends that I meet on the trails and have seen parts of Australia that I wouldn't normally visit. Definitely get out there if you can. Cheers, mate.
Mr zenith?
How good is Narooma?! Absolutely love those trails
@@Lizzie_MTB such a sick place to ride, already planning to head back in Jan 2025. Cant wait! 🙂 cheers.
Hahahaha my first time up turkey. I went up that same trail to go hit megatron. I know your pain😂 come to find out nobody uses that trail to get up there
@@Damo-lad 😁 glad im not the only one, 6 months later im still feeling it. 🤣. Hey @mickfromrocky can you climb this for us on your next vid? 😄
Damn it! can you guys stop posting incredible vids of this place 😜 Now I'm going to have to ride it 🤘 Great vid 👌
@@huckyeahmtb 😁 get out there mate, i am counting the days til i get back there in Jan 2025. 🙂 cant wait.
It's really nice to have riding buddies!
Cheers mate, definitely always fun to ride with friends. Thank you for watching and subbing. 🙂
Great video Marc. Mate you looked good on cannonball, it was good to see it not from a racer’s perspective. Glad you’re ok after that crash. Getting some nice speed down some of those trail dude 👌🏼
Thanks Jules, Im going to work on my tech riding, so hopefully I will get better at it. 🙂
@@madaboutmtb.21 you and me both mate… that was bloody serious out there today
Nice one! Your reaction when you headed into the forest section on cannonball was great. Pretty much the same as me first time I rode it!
Cheers mate, i think i need to start learning how to ride tech trails. hopefully one day i'll be able to ride canonball without getting off my bike. 🙂
@madaboutmtb.21 cannonball is really tough, though. You did great. If you find the right trails, tech can be really fun to ride and learn. Also great with fun people.
Hi Marc, I was leaning the lounge chair over left & right like a motorcycle racer watching you…nearly got my knee down on the carpet on a few of your corners. Some fair momentum pummeling down those tracks…
Hey Pete, cheers mate, Nah!!! Youre faster than me, glad you enjoyed it. I missed you at Toowombah today?
@@madaboutmtb.21Good to hear you rode Toowoomba today. I had a relative lunch gathering today which was good to go to as nice relos we hardly ever catch up with in spite of being the same family name and living nearby in Brisbane…one of those things. And I seriously don’t think I felt up to taking on the Toowoomba gnar…beyond my skills and I’m happy to have bounced back well from that concussion I had. I would of totally lacked confidence. I’ll be waiting to view you do your Toowoomba magic on utube to see how it’s done. Cya
have such a happy mood helping others and being a nice person, just started my own channel if you had any tips, thanks
Cheers for watching mate, i will sub to you. And hope that one we can ride together. 🙂
Great work on the content Riki!! Your riding so well, keep on shredding 🤙 The trails look pretty darn good . Great work on the jumps Marc!
Thanks Shelley, I told her she has to do more talking on film. she does a better job than me. Thanks for watching.
Great video mate 👍,, just back after a week there & Eden 😎🤘 Whats the go with your mates knee pads after he got cheese grated ??About as usefull as tits on a bull , those pads lol 😝 I personally prefer pads with hard shell that dont slip up when you eat shit , just slide along the ground !!
Hey mate, how was Eden? I plan on heading down there early next year, but i hear its not as good as Narooma. Maybe I'll do bright instead. Yeh, that knee pads didnt do much for him, we'll be looking at getting something better next time. Cheers for watching. 🙂
@@madaboutmtb.21 Eden was fun 🤩 with some awsome trails but a lot weren’t open to to fuel reduction burn 🔥 and storm they had 4 days before we got there ! We were both on muscle 💪 bikes and the lay out for loops & up trails was pretty average taking you all the way back to trail head , seriously needing a link track ! If you can self shuttle or organise enough people for the local shuttle it would be fine . Narooma just has a way better lay out and way more trails catering for everyone 😎🤘 Cheers 🍻
@@archie68x Cheers for the info, that's good to know.
I’ve ridden here quite a lot recently but it’s taken me months to level up as quickly as you. Great riding and channel mate
Keep going mate, im sure you'll be better than me very soon, as i have nothing like this near my area. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Great video guys 🤙. Riki is riding so well!
Thanks Shelley, didn’t get to see much of Riki on this video due to her mechanical issue. If you haven’t already check out our Day 2, she had a blast, she’s already keen to go back. 🙂
Nice. Looks like a cool place.
You would love this place, there is some big jumps that you would enjoy, cheers mate
This place looks the business Marc 👌🏼. You’re riding has progressed so much dude, it’s a pleasure to see. Riki is riding really good too. Cracking vid mate. Live that dream 👊🏼
Cheers Jules, still have a lot to learn about riding. I need to break down my mental barrier to progress more, you set the bar i still have a long way to go. 🙂
Marc, did you spot the birds making the wonderful song chirps. Nice trails & the option of being able to self shuttle is a bonus.
Hey mate, you definitely can self shuttle but only up to the playground zone, not all the way up the gravity zone. Looking back on this video, i should have ridden the other black trails on the gravity zone. Oh well, More motivation for me to come back. Thanks for watching mate. 🙂
Probably the best camera angle I've ever watched - Narooma is now top of my list to visit
Cheers mate, much appreciated. Highly recommend Narooma, Can't wait to go back and ride the other trails that we didnt get to. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Great Vid. Greetings from Laurieton😊
Cheers mate, thanks for watching.
What a fantastic place Marc. Great video dude. Good to see Sam on an eeb too👌🏼
Thanks Jules, Sam is loving the Ebike, specially at Narooma 6k climb to get to the top. 🙂
Have you been to Bright or Tassie?
Not yet, bright is definitely on the card next year. My next video will be on Narooma, such an awesome place to ride. Planning a trip in January next year, we will be going back to Narooma then heading to Eden and Bright. would also love to head to Tassie one day. Thanks for watching mate.
Yeah, looked just a bit too wet to ride, Rockn Robyn is awesome at some speed. My local 🤘
Cheers mate, would have love to spend a bit more time. We did got to ride rockin robin twice, awesome trail. Will hopefully get back down in January.
Great vid Marc. They make the trails different down there! Wet trails don’t help.
Awesome works 💪
Cheers mate.
Looks like it was pretty soft at the 3 x drops. Best to keep off them if that's the case as the ground gets chopped up quickly
One day I'll get there. So good man!
One of the best MTB destination. You will love it.. 🙂 cheers mate.
Top of Paparazzi to the bottom of Gunbarrel is so much fun. Great vid 🤘
So good ay, we love Grasshopper fun trail with some smaller jumps along the way. Cbeers mate, thanks for watching.
Marc you are a legend, jumps scare the living crap out of me but you keep going. Luv your channel.
Cheers mate, thank you for watching.
