Mums Backyard! More of..

I've been busy playing in the back yard again cutting in new loops. Took a bunch of riders for a 140km loop the other day and this is what one of them came up with.

I'm so grateful having all of this within a few kms of home. Living the dream!

Good stuff! How long did it take to put the drowned bike into service?

 

[Jakobi]

You wouldn't believe it, but the old KTM450 and rider both went fully under water running. Picked it up. We tipped it on its back wheel and let the water out the exhaust. Laid it on its side to overflow the carb. And rung the water out of the air filter. She fired back to life on the button and ran on all day. I thought for sure she'd be hydrolocked.

Very nice!Say what are the plants called @1:15?They have a fuzzy green top.

 

[Jakobi]

They're called black boys as they are indigenous to Australia and have spears too. They may have changed names now to meet 'political correctness' to grass tree. I still call em black boys and I can tell you its no fun punching your front tyre into a small one at pace!

Heres another vid of the same section from an earlier date. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ48UKlzGoU

And judging by this link http://www.silktreesandplants.com.au/details.php?cat_id=10 I should be potting them up and striking it rich! Haha!

Don't know. I didn't edit this one. A mate has just started a tour company so even if it took him a day to put the vid together its 'marketting' for his business. I'm yet to ask him which software he used to do it but I'm stoked with the quality of the vid and the editting. My involvement in that ride was just leading and filling him in at the log bridge muddy rutt Looked good on film though right!


Here's another one of some riding a few hours north of here
