I've never been to Mt. Cotton and am heading up there for Fox Superflow this Saturday! I'm super keen and the trails look mint! I loved the video mate and I'm definitely subscribed. Will I be seeing you there on Saturday?
You are in for an absolute treat Elliot! Some of the best riding you can find in Queensland. I'll be there on Saturday but unfortunately won't be racing due to injury. Give me a shout if you see me.
That's what I'm here for, to give you a bit of a guide to what to expect on the trails. :) Was keen to hit it this weekend but of course the rain beat me to it, hopefully traffic was low/none this weekend as those fresh sections probably need a bit of time to bed in. Can't catch a break with all the rain!
Hey Aidan, great vid. Unfortunately a yellow line means NO PARKING even if you're on the footpath or the dirt and not touching the road. If there's a yellow line on the road the Council revenue collectors will find you and hit you up and make you pay for their Christmas party.
Think you might be onto a winner here Anthony, I'll make a note for future visits to NOT park on the lines. I'm anticipating much confusion and complaints around the corner after a Sunday morning blitz in the future. :P
Killa video mate. Have watched a heap of your videos now always awesome. I watched your guide to boomers before I even moved to brisbane. Got me so excited I went there and hired a gambler before I'd even unpacked properly in my first week here. Thanks for continuing to make awesome videos
You certainly started your SEQ riding journey with a bang Jason! Absolutely stoked that YOU are so stoked about the trails and the videos around SEQ. Believe it or not, there are spots that I haven't been to yet. So plenty more videos for you to enjoy in the future. Thank you for your kind words and I might see you on the trails! :D
Cheers Craig, watching you go down it and getting caught off guard a few times made me feel a little better about it. :P Even you thought the Westy's jumps were bigger haha!
Thanks man, once I start talking you can't shut me up. :P The doubles are very well made, the better riders are certainly loving the smooth landings on the big stuff down Westy's and Blacking Out.
With you on pretty much every point. I went out there on Tuesday for the first time post-cleanup. Westys and Blacking Out are now a little out of my pay grade. I can get my bike down them, but it is realistically more like "barely controlled survival" than riding. The jumps are all so booty, too. Squash and case hard, is pretty much my go to. The chute on Blacking Out looks way chunkier, but I don't know if that is just lack of recent exposure for me as it was with you? Anyway. Fun times ahead getting comfortable with it all, again.
Another member of the squish and case club! :P Glad I'm not the only one thinking the chute looks scarier now... I think I might be right for next visit but as we know, features like this is all about the mental game. Plus it's always fun to 're-progress' on old favourites.
Great video Aidan, those trails were so cool, awesome sections. You rode beautifully. Great job and fantastic footage. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work mate. Ride on and have a great Easter🤙
Feels like we're back to regular programming then. Looks amazing out there, super keen to get back out there and have a look before all the jumps are half the size again.
Great to see Mr Curious back on the tubes and on the trails. How about those doubles now, all over the place. Bigger, more intimidating. Everything running super smooth too. So great to be back there. Nice one man 🤘
Ha Ezz great running into you and the crew, a happy little surprise! I'm super interested to see your perspective in the coming days as well... If you can get the audio synced. :P
Welcome back aiden great video. They way I understand the road rules can’t park on a yellow line, but guessing it’s a grey area when your technically not on the road. I’ve not been to Mount Cotton so I’m guessing parking is a pain, maybe Redlands could build a car park in the vicinity if there’s land for it?
Thanks Kevin, good to publish a video again after the rain! They actually do have a few purpose built carparks at Cotton. However they are right at the bottom of the hill and requires a fire road or trail climb up to get to the gravity trails. You will have to head out and have a look yourself sometime soon!
@@BicycleCurious ewww hills so parking on the roadside it is. Aiden I’ve made up my mind this year that I need to explore more trails, I’m starting off with Nerang next month. Believe me Mt Cotton is on the list
Nice work. I thought you might throw up a Mt Cotton video soon enough. Looks like it’s running nice with a lot more oomph on the jumps. Pretty sure you can’t park where there are yellow lines. I generally park in one of the car parks before the roundabout and ride Leolands to the first trailhead. It’s a good warmup for the legs. Are we going to see any Mt. Buller vids?
Thanks Mitch, as soon as I heard it was open again I knew I had to get out with the GoPro. On the yellow lines I think I will just avoid parking there to see if others start to cop fines. :P And YES Buller is coming... it's a big video so taking a bit longer to get out (amongst other things/procrastination).
Great video mate, was out there yesterday when you were leaving and loved all the new kicky jumps (even though my jump game is non existent) and techy bits. Rode Metamorphic yesterday too - for the first time, it was awesome.
Ahh just missed you mate, glad you are loving it as much as I am. I actually rode Metamorphic as well but derped the GoPro. It's never been better IMO and the A line rock chute is extra chunky now.
Gotta get back out there. Busted my tyre and cant find any DH Casing 27.5 tyres so riding is a now right now :( If anyone can find me one thatd be sweet
It's hard getting anything right now Angus! You might have a bit more luck going for alternative brands. Dan runs Schwable and he absolutely loves them.
Great to see what's to expect before heading the trails, always enjoy your chill behind the camera.
Great watch. All this within 5 minutes drive for me. 👍👍
Thanks for the vid bud, rode it yesterday was mint as 👌
No worries Adrian, glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.

@@BicycleCurious That's quite unfortunate! I hope you recover soon and I'm keen to see you this weekend!
I saw this vid after the floods and just gave it another watch... Didn't realise I made a brief cameo 🤣 Nice one 👌🤟
Great to see someone actually provide uncut footage of their experience on the trails. Trails are very muddy and dangerous atm due to weather.
That's what I'm here for, to give you a bit of a guide to what to expect on the trails. :) Was keen to hit it this weekend but of course the rain beat me to it, hopefully traffic was low/none this weekend as those fresh sections probably need a bit of time to bed in. Can't catch a break with all the rain!
Nice vid I want to go to Mount cotton one day

The close-up intros are back! Great video once again.
Now with extra nose hair, thank you Joe!

TBH man, blacking out hasnt changed until after the chute.
I think I was just out of practice TBH, next time!
Another great watch and ride as always Aidan, thanks for always bringing these trails to us all. 👊
Cheers Craig, watching you go down it and getting caught off guard a few times made me feel a little better about it. :P Even you thought the Westy's jumps were bigger haha!
Great to see you back on the bike and love the constant commentary. The trails are sick and look to push you to your limits. Well done on the doubles.
Thanks man, once I start talking you can't shut me up. :P The doubles are very well made, the better riders are certainly loving the smooth landings on the big stuff down Westy's and Blacking Out.
@@BicycleCurious I hear that a lot as well.
Great vid Aidan, I’m glad I got to see this before I eventually get there. The place is on steroids now…. Real hectic! Cheers for the shout out🤘🏼
You'll love it when you head out there next Jules, the features on Westy's are fixed up so you can send to your heart's content.
With you on pretty much every point.

Thank you CK, nothing better than a few good days on the bike on the long weekend Easter break.
Good stuff, hopefully I have a bike soon and can go ride it before it's blown to bits again haha.
Get in quick Jesse, it's already showing signs!!
Mt Cotton looks awesome mate, great video.
Cheers Froff, you would love it up here. Might be able to park your camper at the bottom of the hill. ;)
Feels like we're back to regular programming then. Looks amazing out there, super keen to get back out there and have a look before all the jumps are half the size again.
Your Meta will love it dude, not quite Boomer sized jumps but pretty damn legit!

Looks like the run ins to some of those big boy jumps is pretty technical. Still super keen to get out there and try them
Get amongst it Will, it's a great place to progress your gravity skills. We are very lucky to have such a place here in SEQ.
Great video mate, was out there yesterday when you were leaving and loved all the new kicky jumps (even though my jump game is non existent) and techy bits. Rode Metamorphic yesterday too - for the first time, it was awesome.

@@BicycleCurious
Agreed re: the Metamorphic A-line. So chunky, and loving it.
Gotta get back out there. Busted my tyre and cant find any DH Casing 27.5 tyres so riding is a now right now :( If anyone can find me one thatd be sweet

What camera do you use
Hey mate, I'm on the GoPro Hero 9 for videos like this. You can find a link to the gear I use in the description below. :)
