I hadn't heard abour riding in Australia. Cool.



I emailed back and forth with a guy from New Zealand a few years back. He told me to come down and give it a try...just to say I did, but he said he's rather come to Montana and ride with me...if that tells you anything. LOL
He said it amounted to going out and riding through a pasture to a vantage point and looking at mountains in the distance. And them coming back.

It should be better than that unless they have some stupid non-motorized laws that prevent real riding. I've seen some amazing back country on skiiing and boarding films from N.Z.

Cheers guys, I will send some pics once the snow flies. Both NZ and OZ do have good riding, NZ has pretty much free riding and big mountains!! Oz is harder to ride unless your in search & rescue.

I think South America would be the only legit place to ride the southern hemisphere.

Here's a shot from last season.

What elevation would you be riding at?

 

[Aussie Niko]

Mainly around 5700 to 6500. Look up pics of Mt feather top victoria.
