If you don't know Weir, you are missing out! Conditions are all time, loamy and fast and everything is just running so well.

Currently my favourite place to smash out a few laps. Managed 15 or so today top to bottom 💪

Hers a minute and a half of riding ASMR.

Tag a mate who needs to ride here.

Blue Cruiser at the Goat Farm just got a full refresh thanks to the team @magicdirttrailworx and it is looking sharp. New features, fresh dirt and some very unexpected trail companions.

Yes those are kangaroos. Yes they were just vibing on the trail. Only in WA.

Pine Ridge Nannup is officially OPEN 🔥

I got to ride WA's newest bike park in Nannup designed and built by the team @samhill_signaturetrail and here's a taste of what's on offer!

Full trail run-throughs dropping soon - green, both blues and the black, all coming to the channel.

📍 Pine Ridge MTB Park, Nannup WA

The Forrest, one afternoon. Some of my favourite features, a few new ones, and no travel required. If you know, you know.

Nothing beats riding stuff like this in your own backyard.
Follow @trailtalkaus for more Perth Hills riding.

Perth Hills, where the biggest features look smaller on camera. This ramp is so tall I have to hang off the top of it just to prove it. The camera lies, the ramp does not.

1 week till we are back @lingalongabikepark for the final round of @wagravityenduro 2026 series. Been awhile since we were at the venue so excited to see what's in store trail selection wise.

Always a great weekend with the crew at such an amazing venue 😍

Goat Farm, Perth Hills. Today's trail hazard: one blue-tongued lizard with zero interest in moving and the right of way. Trails change daily, so keep your eyes up. Nobody was hurt, but the lizard looked unimpressed.

Found the problem: my eyes. I went out today to drill berms and body position with no brake dabbing, and spent the session working out why I kept braking. I did 15 laps on one course to start, then 26 laps on a second course, 41 laps in total.

The answer was my vision. I wasn't looking far enough ahead to prepare for the next feature, so I kept dabbing the brakes. Once I lifted my eyes, I braked less, carried more speed through the corners and went from 15.16 s to 12.74 s. That's 16% quicker with no extra fitness.

New Day, New Drills!
Today was working on a segment on a hand cut trail in my local forest. I was working on turns again but trying to hold body position and minimize brake use.
Although there was improvement over the runs with higher end speeds and lower times there is still a LOT of work to do here. by @trailtalkaus

80 flat turns in 45 minutes, 40 one way and 40 back.

Flat turns are my weakest skill, so now I'm drilling them until they're boring.

Nationals showed me exactly where the time is.

Feels like 60 km/h in my head. Looks like a gentle Sunday roll from the outside. POV vs reality, Nationals edition.

Follow @trailtalkaus if you can handle the truth.

Getting scientific. A 10 Hz GPS logger, two corner drills, 10 runs each, every run timed.

Drill 1: 16.80 s down to 15.40 s. That’s 1.4 s quicker by the last run, and most of it came from the long sweeper, where I went from 6.30 s to 5.40 s.

Drill 2: 18.42 s down to 17.52 s. That’s 0.9 s quicker, then it stalled after run 6, which tells me exactly where to look next.

Same turns, now with data instead of guesswork. Next race is Lingalonga in mid-November.

Follow @trailtalkaus to watch the numbers move.
