That's a brilliant trail and fantastic video mate. And the Views!! Loved every minute of it. Really need to get there. Was fantastic when Megan was out front, gave you a much better perspective of how tricky the trail is. Well ridden by both of you. How were the wrists at the end of it all?
What an adventure this trip has been for you, looks like some of those trails take some serious effort and confidence.. Great riding and great edit mate..
Great riding from you and Megan. Reading the trail skills are not optional. It’s the combination of steep and the loose rocks that would have me saying “no thanks, too much for me”. Well done!
Looks epic! Come ride in WA if you want to experience a lack of grip :p our pea gravel is sensation. Don't have any mountains big enough for the exposure, but the little elevation we have we make the most of
Yeah mate first time I ever went mountain biking was in Kalamunda. Sounds like there’s a lot more trails around now though. Keen to get back over there.
Literally drove past this trail yesterday on a quick tour with the gf, and i gotta say after seeing it you're off your head mate! Its ridiculous how steep it is! Well done, Froff!
Extremely entertaining froff dog! That was nuts! Love your vids dude…. No bullshit, just genuine Stoke👌🏼 Riding that trail with no gloves🤯 and Megan clipped in🤯. Sick🤘🏼
Natural Selection is something else. I'll have to toughen up a bit for a few weeks at Derby first and wear the full body helmet with armholes. You did well to keep your skin intact. I really like your chat and style of video. Scary big loose terrain deserves respect. No jackass headbanging soundtrack a plus . Definitely a place to swap to your E=Mtb² for the climbs.
Well, I thought I may like to ride there, but after seeing that, skidding down a rocky cliff for 10 klms don’t look like to much fun. I like steep, I don’t mind rocks, but 15 kilometres of skidding, well not so much! First trail looked better,what about an ebike on that first trail you rode, as not to keen on having to walk or ride up bloody hills, especially when you been shuttled to the top.
Wow froff, looks unreal I was shitting myself watching it!! I been following you for a while now and it would be great to see a video of you doing a "best of/ high and low lights of tassie" Appreciate your efforts dude 🤙🤙
Viewing the trail from the riders POV says nothing about the trail other than it's dry and up high . It isn't until there's a ride in front that you get a sense of the steep decent, the rocks and drops and just how loose it is.
Why are you guys riding without gloves? When someone falls, they tend to put their hands out. When I was riding, I never went without gloves; never mind how slick sweaty hands get. And getting shuttled up?! Half of mountain biking is the climb up.

man you could easerly loose a kneecap on this trail. ronny burns (the surfer) lost his life in Hawaii on a dirt bike trail hitting a rock with his knee and bleeding out......that fact makes this decent of yours legendary and highlights what a level this track really is....
Queenstown is chasing Derby for the MTB dollar. I drove through Queenstown a few weeks ago, still a ghost town. I expected more MTB based shops and people riding bikes. I think I saw one bike on a roof rack. I hope Queenstown takes off because it needs a draw card. For Tasmanians it’s too far away, they don’t like to travel more than an hour or so. They’ve built it but It’ll be interesting to see if tourists come.
I really hope it takes off there too mate. The trails are so unique. We also had a really fun time in town. The locals where very accomodating to me and my family.
Great setting, view and trail length drop! Top rocky section and the creek crossings look great, flowy bermy sections, meh. Drop it down into the gully next to it would be wicked. More techy single trail ftw!
Ha! Didn’t think I’d come across this on the interwebs! You’re absolutely right, the camera hides just how steep it gets! See ya when you’re down next!
Mate that was some awesome riding! Rode my first black Diamond trails the other day but natural selection made them look like a ride to the shops hahaha
Great watching, Captain Froff! Shred on!
Cheers legends. 👩✈️

Aw thanks heaps mate! The wrists weren’t too bad surprisingly! Would love to see some Sportilium Queenstown footage soon 😎
Great trail..but I think I'd be wearing gloves!
Queenstown rocks. Harden up Australia. Rory, Tasmania.
That looks unreal, Awesome edit! Queenstown just made it to the top of my ride list. Thanks!
I cant believe you dont wear gloves! Those sharp rocks will slice your hands open real quick if you hit the deck.
What an adventure this trip has been for you, looks like some of those trails take some serious effort and confidence.. Great riding and great edit mate..
Thanks man! Some of those trails had me squealin’ 😂
This is MENTAL!!
Great riding from you and Megan. Reading the trail skills are not optional. It’s the combination of steep and the loose rocks that would have me saying “no thanks, too much for me”. Well done!
18 minutes of awesome Froffer, that place looks insanely good. Great vid dude 👊
Thanks heaps man! I couldn’t make it any shorter 😂
wow what a landscape & Megan was clipped in too! Great vid mate 👌
Cheers Dave! 👍
Hey Froff , they had this video playing in the Vertigo shop at Derby on the big screen 👌🤣👍
Ya kidding! That’s so sick! Cheers for the heads-up mate.
That place looks mint. I’d need a hydration pack full of sunscreen but!
So cool! great video mate :) Queenstown & Tasmania looks pretty epic for MTB
That place looks wicked, thanks for taking us there Froff!
I'll be there next month! Looks so hectic, think I'll need more than 1 spare pair of pads
Sick dude. Hanging to get to Tassie
Gorgeous scenery for just walking down😊 Obviously a Sun Simulator in the sky with it's typical bluish light and hexagonal shape
Spent a good chunk of my childhood roaming the hills of Queenstown. Never like this tho. Cudos to your extreme skills and intestinal fortitude.
Looks epic!

Literally drove past this trail yesterday on a quick tour with the gf, and i gotta say after seeing it you're off your head mate! Its ridiculous how steep it is!
Well done, Froff!
Hahaha it’s a beautiful, quirky town. We can’t wait to go back.
That's incredible! Can't wait to get back to Tassie, awesome riding mate 🤟
Cheers Lachy, appreciate it mate.
Still blown away froff!
I'm catching up on your Tazie vid's and loving it,, just awesme dude
Thanks heaps Jem, appreciate it mate
Extremely entertaining froff dog! That was nuts! Love your vids dude…. No bullshit, just genuine Stoke👌🏼 Riding that trail with no gloves🤯 and Megan clipped in🤯. Sick🤘🏼
Thanks heaps Jules! Really appreciate that
Man that was crazy to watch haha.
GoPro even made parts look steep 😅
That looks like some epic fun.
Riding loose gravel trails without gloves is one way to increase your pucker factor. :P
holy i thought the churchill dh was steep! Good on ya! Amazing production as well👌
Cheers mate!

Thanks a lot Rob! I love a bit of headbanging music but I try to leave it out of the edits 😂 good luck for your ride 👍
@@Froff New Shredwater ck track at Railton/Sheffield looks worth a visit and new tracks at Georgetown 👍👍before you go home.
Too chunky for my taste .
nice video though .
😂😂
Yeah I don’t think it’s something I would enjoy - holding the brakes the whole time and sliding around everywhere.
"How much loose gravel is on this trail?" ... "Yes!"
Well, I thought I may like to ride there, but after seeing that, skidding down a rocky cliff for 10 klms don’t look like to much fun. I like steep, I don’t mind rocks, but 15 kilometres of skidding, well not so much!

Appreciate your efforts dude 🤙🤙
Appreciate it mate! Thanks for the great idea, I’ll see how I go 😎
Looks sick, will need to check it out
wow barely looks like its even in Aus! great vid and riding, convinced me i NEED to get there somehow
Cheers mate! Yeah it’s so unique 👌
Epic! The little reminder to yourself to not die 😂👌🏼
😂😂 Rule #1
Okay. This place has flown a little under the radar for me planning my Tassie trip, but I think I'll be adding it for sure. Cannot wait for March.
Sick dude!
ok this needs to happen in my life. what a trail. tip to the hat for the riding brother, well done.
Cheers mate!! Such a sick trail 🔥
Hey FroffDog, another great video man. Loving the Tassie videos. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Thanks heaps John!
Viewing the trail from the riders POV says nothing about the trail other than it's dry and up high . It isn't until there's a ride in front that you get a sense of the steep decent, the rocks and drops and just how loose it is.
Yeah for sure mate!!
Another one to the list of places I have to go in tassie . Thanks for the awesome viewing you bloody legend!!
Cheers Tommy! Ride soon mate!
Why are you guys riding without gloves? When someone falls, they tend to put their hands out. When I was riding, I never went without gloves; never mind how slick sweaty hands get. And getting shuttled up?! Half of mountain biking is the climb up.
You can’t climb to the top of these trails it’s a private shuttle road and there’s no climbing trail.
Hey man can you do a video of what you carry with you for each ride?
Yeah man I’ll try to put it in an upcoming video soon!
Looks insane!
What crazy trails Froffer, nice work. They're going on the bucket list now!
I'd put it as the last item, or maybe just before "Dive with sharks without a cage" 😁
Yikes! You can tell how steep it is from the sound of the tires skidding on the gravel. Looked super loose too.
This gave me sweaty palms! Awesome skills and great video!
Thanks legend!
It’s just awesome!! Great video mate 🔥
Thanks heaps mate, its so unique out there.
Another sick video!
You haven’t even watched it yet 😂

Go mtb they said, no cars to worry about.
Mate that has just made me wanna do a tassie trip awesome frotha
Cheers Yoda! Yeah you should do it mate
Need to work out how to fit this into my Tassie trip in a few weeks
Would highly recommend squeezing it in!
Gloves are good...try em.
29k! views already, go Froff!!
Thank Jem
This made me so excited and so scared. Keen to ride them next week!
You should be scared Jacko 😝
man you could easerly loose a kneecap on this trail. ronny burns (the surfer) lost his life in Hawaii on a dirt bike trail hitting a rock with his knee and bleeding out......that fact makes this decent of yours legendary and highlights what a level this track really is....
Looks awesome!
Um Queenstown is in Queensland not in Tasmania but awesome video
🤔
Froffing!!
Oath!!
no legs to climb?
houwa rocky garden !
Wow, your trail there in australia have a quite semi dessert soil..very loose and rocky..ride safe
Fantastic video. Tasmania’s West Coast is amazing. There is nothing else like Mt. Owen and Zeehan trails.
absolutely blown away, you have got some serious MTB experience my brother, that was nuts.
Just draggin the rear tyre all the way down. Sounds heaps fun.
Good camera positioning. Made good viewing.
Cheers mate.

Way too much stones for my taste. But it looks epic.
Haha it’s very skatey
great quality video! liked/subscribed!
Awesome trail name (Natural Selection). Great job on the sound balancing of the your video. What is rule #2 if #1 is "Don't die"?
Thanks so much mate, I put a lot of time into the audio and I’m never 💯 satisfied 🤯 love editing it though. Rule #2 have a sick time.
That's superb mate. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Great setting, view and trail length drop! Top rocky section and the creek crossings look great, flowy bermy sections, meh. Drop it down into the gully next to it would be wicked. More techy single trail ftw!
Yeah dude!! I think the gully actually turns into a waterfall haha so that would be interesting.
Trails and scenery looks absolutely insane! Great vid
Is this a trail bike location, or do you think my Scalepl SE would do ok?
Thanks Hamish! It’d probably do OK on Waterfall, but not sure about the rest. I’m sure you could make it work 😜
Ha! Didn’t think I’d come across this on the interwebs! You’re absolutely right, the camera hides just how steep it gets!
See ya when you’re down next!
Dude!! Hahaha I didn’t think I’d come across you on the interweb! Nice meeting you mate, can’t wait to get back!
These trails are freakin wild man!!! Awesome
Such a sick spot. Cheers mate
Crazy.
Cheers dude 🤘
Ah, you've finally earned my sub
Mate that was some awesome riding! Rode my first black Diamond trails the other day but natural selection made them look like a ride to the shops hahaha
Haha cheers mate, it’s full on.
So good! Straight onto the must do list!
"don't die froff dog." hahah so good.!
Thanks mate 😃
Not the Queenstown I was expecting when it comes to MTB (Didn't know there was another place called that tbh lol) but wow it looks awesome!
same name, but totally different. Such a wild ride 👌
Awesome video Flowmentum MTB
Cheers dude!
@@Froff tank’s mate.
One of the best mtb vids I've seen. Will def need to add Queenstown to my dream Tassie trip!
Thanks so much David, really, REALLY appreciate your comment mate.
Froffy on the rocks...pickin lines and feelin fine.....never gonna let us down...👌
😂
Looks almost as rocky as Nerang
😂 Nerang looks amazing
That was wicked fun 🤩
Looks like you scored with the weather mate. West coast rarely that hospitible weather wise.
Very lucky mate
The trail in the picture is called the North Owen Descent. Rode it last week, it's pretty good fun! A nice change from most other trails.
My god this was great to watch.. I lived there in the early 90’s.
Thanks mate
This looks amazing thanks, how you reckon a well spec'd hardtail would go out there? Also is that an Orbea you're riding?
Thanks mate! I’m sure you can make that work! Yeah mate Orbea Rallon 🤙
@@Froff Awesome thanks mate, waiting for a new Roscoe 9 and hoping to take it to Tassie this year! Very nice steed :)
Holy shit 😂😂😂 hectic!
So sick 👍
Good job !!!! Scary awesome sick trail .....
Thanks mate
Great thumbnail!
Cheers mate, appreciate it!
Why it's Called the Rugged West Coast.
Rough and rugged 😀
Looks sick definitely need to get there myself
Such a rad spot 👌
Shit Yeah!!
Is Maydena next?
Not sure mate, I did ride there but didn’t get a whole lot of footage 🤦♂️ Will what I can put together
great view of australia
Thanks mate
