Just back from AE yesterday & it was crackin. the weather was class, so nice to be on trials when it is sunny & warm. Thought the trials were v fast. The highlights were the Edge, Bran Burn Bash & the Omage man.

There is a lot more trails being built while we were there. I would definetley be back

The adventure did not stop there. We had finished the trail & we were going to do another run of the Omage man, when we heard someone screaming there lungs out.
Some girl had overcooked on the table tops & bust her kneecap open. You could see the cartilidge it looked v messy it looked bad. She had no pads at all. Her 2 mates did know
what happened to her as they had were further down the trail and they had stopped to wait on her. Me & a mate had cycled down to call an ambulance & told them what had happened.
Couple of my mates stayed with her till the Ambulances came, ys as you can see from the pic how many vechiles arrived & the paramedic was there in minutes but t took time to get to her as she was halfway down the omega man

Pity the mobile recepton is crap up there.

I will definetly be back.

Last time we where in ae few months back, the ambulance arrived to scoop somebody from the omega man.

Think a lot of people obviously underestimate it.

Bloody good fun though!

aye, all the trails are reopened and in good shape.

The omega man is a great way to finish 20 kms of hard slog.. Perfectly thought out

The Honda had been specially adapted for them the guy said. It was a flyin machine.

Yeah, all the trails were open. They had a few bits closed off as they had started to make new stuff just off the fire road.
