If you like dirt, trees, and seeing people in pain then this weekend has it all. The Aussie mtb nationals series is down here for the 5th and final round, which means a heap of fit and fast people riding around in circles, over jumps, or down steep hill. It’s out at Glenorchy MTB park and is definitely worth getting along to check out. Bring a six pack of beer, grab your cowbell, and scream obscenities at people who can ride better than you. There’s even rumours that Sam Hill might show up and mumble something to himself. While he’s renowned as the world’s most useless ambassador for professional mountain biking, he sure knows how to play well with gravity. Luke Madill (of Olympic BMX potential-fame) will also be along for the 4X, and there’s a good chance a few other not-really-famous-but-with-familiar-names sorta types will show up. I know I’ll be there at least (ho ho).
My Disco are playing on the Saturday night at the Brisbane as well, so you can keep drinking there. And apparently there’s an after party on Sunday night at the most shitful hollow empty place around, The Observatory. At least you know that you won’t be embarrassed the next day after getting drunk, spewing on a few random strangers and abusing the bouncers. After all, they probably deserved it.
Don’t be shit, get involved. See you there.
