Thanks for the welcome guys.
Still a little sore today actually, but not too bad. I’m trying to sort out at least one more trip before the end of the season.
As I said, the lesson was a great move, and I think I’ll even do another one next time up.
I’m still pumped from the weekend, and I think a few people might be sick of hearing about it, but it’s all good.
Oh, and races down Bourke St sitting on our boards after hours at the pub were EPIC!.
Which part was epic?
the speed or the stack
Both!
And overtaking skiers!
Sounds like you had a mad time man.
Any plans on going up again?
Mate, I’d love to. I’m hoping I’ll at least get a few more day trips in before the end of the season. I wouldn’t mind going up for another w/e, but I’m saving to go O/S early next year, so a few day trips might have to do at this stage.
I’m only a 2.5hr drive from Buller so day tripping isn’t too bad. Just have to convince the mates to come too.
Really? whereabouts are you?
its about 2.5 hours for me too
Hey Tills, have you checked out the rider progression articles/videos?
If you want to overtake skiers have a look at this one.

I’m in Bundoora mate. I can pretty much just shoot through Eltham and Yae and go up that way. Either that or I can go up through Whittlesea.
Rider26,
I’m pretty sure I’ve checked out all of the vids etc. They were the first things I checked out when I found BW. Straight lining felt pretty good. Didn’t have too many troubles there. Except for when I tried it switch, and got my ambitions confused with my abilities. Picked up way too much speed and had a nice stack.
That fast from Bundoora? I thought that would be more like 3 hours. Guess I have to go in a 20minutes then out again from the yarra valley to get going.
Mate, it could well be 3hrs. I’ve obviously only done the drive up there once, but it took us about 3 hours to get up there on the Friday with traffic and roadworks stoppages. We took a different way home on the Sunday, but without taking real not of the times, I’m pretty sure it was closer to 2.5.
Advanced planning on the Tomtom does say 3 hours though.
for me, its 5 minutes onto maroondah highway and then straight down pretty much

Ah, the GPS device. One of my friends went into Albury on the way to Falls instead of turning off at glenrowan because the gps said to…and he was leading a convoy (from Melbourne this is).
Anyway, back on topic 3 hour maximum drive should keep you going back for more!

I dont think the drive gets anyone back for more
its the snow that gets us.
they gotta open one of them dry slopes around here
Drivign a shorter distance is better than a long distance

thank you captain obvious
you’re just flaunting your driving time to buller
bahaha I laughed out loud at that call gpl
then dad gave me a weird look…
14 hour bus ride to buller isn’t alll that inviting…but it is worth it if it’s like what it was last year…
26 hour plane ride to Canada, however, is a LOT more inviting
Great to hear you are in the net with us though Tills, hope you get some more in before the season is up (if you are planning on of course)
