Looks good! How much did you have to pay those guys to slow down so that you could fly past them??

1 Beer

Haha! Managed to pass the 2 300's (the blue pumpkin and the orange one). Had nothing against the 2012 TE575.. The rider or the bike.. They both walked away..

Nice clip.What did you do to the forks?

Cheers! Not much.. Haha 48mm Sachs.. Unknown stock valve stacks.. 135mm air gap.. carrying my 75kg + gear.. Was always pretty happy with the way they have tracked.. Just dropped added 5mm air gap to help me use some more of the travel.. Learnt a bit of a lesson to be careful on re-assembly

I'm still open to any hints and tips on how to negotiate loose rocks and bulldust..

On the back wheel

, you cant be deflected if the front wheel doesn't hit the obstacle, and rear wheel kick outs are easier to control than front wheel discretions.

Thanks noobi.. Thats how I try to approach but the terrain I speak of is like single goat track 1st/2nd gear and my skills don't expand that far

Wence.. You'd blitz past everyone! I've seen your skills..

Geez mate.... If only, you must have me confused with someone else....
