New Aussie National Champs Downhill course was finished a few weeks ago - here's a video of the trailbuilders riding it for your viewing pleasure!
Rode it yesterday on a trail bike and scared myself shitless.

So good! Shred till dad!

Interesting - seems like most people are running Rimpact then. I wonder what the difference between the two is in terms of density of the foam used - the Cush Cores seem like they might be slightly harder, but I'm sure they both do a very similar job.
It might've been the tyre change coupled with fiddling with my coil shock, but putting inserts in and being able to run pressures around 20psi (I'm about 70kgs on a good day) made the bike ride like a magic carpet. Not sure I'd ever put inserts in the front, even riding at Maydena, but for the money it's a no brainer on the rear.
FWIW I didn't have much of a problem installing Cush on my bike with a brand new Aggressor, then it took me only 25 minutes or so on a friend's bike the day after. I'm mandating that all friends treat themselves to a rear insert (oo err).

Any of you folk tried Cush Core? Put one in the back wheel after piercing a brand new Maxxis Dissector (dumb choice anyway), and it's made a huuuge difference to the ride/cornering/faith in not exploding the wheel.

Pretty much don't ride anything other than mountain bikes these days. Put at a Comrade Commie together for the glory of the Red Fork Army!

Thanks mate! I've been very lucky to be getting a lot of MTB in while the Melbourne apocalypse has been going on. I'm long overdue to do some write-ups for sure.

You're not wrong... It's still with me in Tasmania and I've been riding it a bit, but not done any big trips or overnighters for some time. It's getting warmer now though, so watch this space!

Ooff. That looks amazing. And I haven't said that about a road bike in about 8 years.
