Lysterfield MTB Park - Hug Descent
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 11. 2019
- Hug trail at Lysterfield MTB Park is as the name suggests. It's warm, comforting and embracing and a fun little downhill to boot. Perfect to resume your ride after a refill of the water bottle, or as a first run if you start from the top Hallam Road car park. It's not particularly difficult but can be a little tricky in dryer weather when the berms turn sandy and slippery. After some heavy weekend rain though the trail was running quick and was super grippy today. Worthy of posting this video. There's a straight section that runs fast after the berms and has got gnarlier over the years, it feels great zig zagging between the trees here. I'm only showing the descends for Hug but the climbs aren't too bad and there's a tricky rock pinch to navigate. Once you cross the fire trail there's a couple of drops that flow on to a boardwalk section.

Wow ,looks so green compared to last week , great video mate
I haven’t been for a while but it was very dry and blown out back in February
I liked the Hug trail part. Second time around I got mixed up on the Upper and Lower Witch tracks which cross each other. The Snipe track back to the dam wall is fun too.
Hug has been quite sandy but really blown out lately. A lot of the trails are in need of some love.
I went here today so fun👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would have been great day. Not too hot and probably not a lot of people. Glad you enjoyed it 🤘
Went today amazing trail
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!
Great looking trail ride man! Nice work 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
nice nice, good to see you're still uploading videos. i was there yesterday, actually i'm there every week lol i need to see other places, which is why i came looking for your channel. I was in search of the Cathedral section at Buxton park but you haven't done that yet so hopefully you will in the future. i'm looking at going there next since i just got a new bike that i can now ride at places other than Lysterfield..
Good quality videos btw, i just become your new subscriber.
Thanks for searching me out and subscribing. Hug and Granite Link were filmed yesterday afternoon. Maybe we crossed paths? Pretty busy at Lysty though with everyone enjoying the day off. Check out this link from Buxton which starts at and features Cathedral, czcams.com/video/xoR8xlIRkzs/video.html
Not sure if they did a build day recently but this trail was running real good yesterday.
That’s only because every other trail has become so sandy that this one seems like the norm 🤣
@@Sportiliumtrue! also not as many weeds atm so visibility is good
I literally did this trail today with 2 friends and then searched this up, was there for about 3 hours and hug Descent probably my favourite Trail
Rampant20 awesome. It gets plenty of use and in need of some loving. Thanks for watching.
Go ahead 👍🏻
After you😜
Sportilium thank you very much 🌻
Woo hoo!
Thanks Chelsea but I'm guessing you're not here for the MTBing.
@@Sportilium my friend linked it and I thought it was her vid. Still, looks like fun!
@@agalfrmtx ooh. I thought you were spamming me 😜
You gonna be doing the buxton enduro?
Lachie Dixon wasn’t going to but you have me thinking 🤔 maybe I should. Always wanted to do an enduro
Looks like it will be a good first race if you havent done one
Lachie Dixon that’s what I thought too. I’m pretty familiar with Buxton as well
What bike are you riding
I’m on a 2018 Specialized StumpJumper. 150mm travel front and rear with upgraded rear shock. Also had to replace the rear wheel and upgraded the hub at the same time. Front forks are a little thin for what I do but they hold up (so far) 😜
Lysterfield is a great example of how trails should NOT be made
It's not for everyone. What are your preferred trails?
fradd Bro lysterfield is insane
Agreed
They are actually pretty good for the location. Nothing super gnarly, but well designed and able to be ridden year round. Best part is i see a lot of younger people having a crack at the sport there, so I think on that alone they are great.
