Have you ever wondered what it would be like to do some mountain bike downhill riding, well I have and I wish I had have found this sport when I was young and silly, because no way can I do what these crazy fools do.
But boy is it fun to watch.
I want a MTB track like this at my place !!!!! WOW

OK it might not be strictly downhill, more dirt jumping, but you've got to
admit it looks cool even if a bit slow compared to "real" downhill.
Really ? no not yet but .....
It COULD be
if I can encourage enough locals to get behind this we could turn this dream into a reality.
We have one mountain bike downhill track in the Glass House Mountains area, "Hennessy Hill" out on the Beerburrum to Woodford Road.
Are there any other Glass House Mountains locals that would love to see us become Queensland's best known downhill mountain bike location.
We already have so much going for us :
Nice fast (freeride) downhill in New Zealand, we could do it here

We wouldn't have to limit ourselves to downhill only, what better way to involve more people than to have different options for different riders.
Some MTB riders never want to do anything but singletrack, while some prefer fire trails or open four wheel drive tracks.
But I have found that many riders want to have a play with different terrain and mix things up.
Read here about a local Glass House Mountains social mountain bike ride which included dirt roads, single tracks, fire trails, forestry tracks and a downhill race track all on the one ride. It is unofficially dubbed the "Tour de Glasshouse"
