Travelling the world as a professional mountain bike rider and racer is a dream job.
We have the privilege of visiting some incredible locations all over the world that many mountain bikers dream to ride and many people dream to visit. We all have our favourite spots and events that have the best loam, sickest jumps, fast flowy single track and high speed straightaways… In saying all that, THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. And now my hometown of Wollongong is on the verge of legalising its trail network to put itself on the map of mountain bike meccas to visit.
A huge amount of work has been done to get this project to the point it’s at now. Legalizing mountain biking on the Illawarra escarpment has been talked about for years now, well before I even got into mountain biking, and now as we step into 2019 the opportunity is right in front of us and we have put our best foot forward to make it happen.
Dirt Art have been working behind the scenes with Destination Wollongong, Wollongong City Council, National Parks and Wildlife and the Illawarra mountain bike alliance to come up with an 85km trail network that spans across Mount Keira to Mount Kembla with future possibilities ready and waiting in the wings. What this means to me is hard to put into words. To see my backyard trails that I ride and train on every day become legal and allow further development of trails and the mountain bike audience is breathtaking.

WHAT GETS THEM INTO âTHAT ZONEâ MENTALLY WHERE THEYâRE ABLE TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF THEMSELVES AND NET THE BEST RESULTS?

SUPPLY CHAIN PAIN
A KIN TO A LOT OF YOU OUT THERE WEâVE RECENTLY FOUND OURSELVES SWINGING BY OUR LOCAL BIKE STORE TO STOCK UPON A FEW PARTS AHEAD OF OUR PLANNED TRAIL ADVENTURES, ONLY TO FIND, EMPTY RACKS AND SHELVES? IS THIS THE NEW VERSION OF LAST YEARâS SUPERMARKET TOILET PAPER PANIC BUYING? WHERE HAVE ALL THE BIKES, BRAKE PADS, TIRES AND EVERYTHING ELSE GONE? WITH AROUND A 30% INCREASE IN BIKE SALES ACROSS AUSTRALIA (AND THE WORLD) DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS ALONE, BIKES HAVE BEEN FLYING OUT THE DOOR THE SAME DAY THAT THEY ARRIVE⊠WANT A NEW BIKE? GET READY TO WAIT. THIS TIME LAST YEAR THE PRE-ORDER WAITING LISTS FROM MOST BRANDS FOR POPULAR BIKES WAS AVERAGING 1-3 MONTHS, NOW, ITâS BLOWING OUT TO ANYWHERE FROM 6 MONTHS TO A FULL YEAR! ITâS CRAZY. ITâS SCARY. IT SUCKS. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE BIKE INDUSTRY IS ON OUR SIDE AND BRANDS ARE DOING THEIR VERY BEST RIGHT NOW TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO TURN IT AROUND.
