There is a Brokers Nose in the escarpment above Wollongong. Looks to me like the same terrain I remember there from years ago.

Front end lose? Looks like it. It always sucks to hurt yourself, and it always happens in the silliest places.

Anyone want to play tour barbie down there for me? Smiling I would love to see the trails.

Thanks for the comments, first vid ive put together!!

this is a run my mate mapped a couple of weeks ago. Its a mix of fire trail and single. The fire trail is a real mix, fast, flowing, wide, narrow, rough. The section at the end when i part compant with my bike is classed as the "lower escarpment fire trail". All the single trail in my vid is on the Escarpment top in the area around Brokers Nose.

And yes, lost the front on landing.Been out for about five hours, 1km from home, wasnt going nearly as fast as normal and just lost concentration, landed on the edge of the trail and slam.

that area is out of bounds according to Trailflix & has been taken off there site , but I think a 24hr rider who has been out of action with injury , rides & trains around the area or he used too

Thanks G!

Appreciate the map. I have done some riding down there at Mt Keira and the uni trail, etc. All great on a big bike. Always wanted to ride at Tarrawanna, plus this new trail at Brokers Nose looks cool too. Let me know when you are next riding, I would love to come down and check it out. Smiling
