Vic meet up report - 3rd Jan 2012 - Kinglake and Rocky Track

What a great trip and thanks to all who came along. We had an absolute blast!

Lets put any photos, vids and chats about it in this thread.

We started off in Kinglake National Park. Lots of tight tracks, deep ruts, trenches and bog holes and then moved onto the challenging Rocky Track on the side of the Toolangi State Forest.

Rocky track is so much fun....Very steep, very rocky and just keeps going up and up...lol...There are some extremely steep bits where you just keep bunny hopping, hoping your tyres bite in and some of us lost some lugs from that track but I'm sure we can all agree it was worth it!!!!!!!!!

I have some videos of everyone which I will put up here tonight.

I just took Rosscos camera and found these photos below of myself going up Rocky Track. This track without a doubt has been one of my favourite climbs to date.

You'll love the videos coming soon!!!!


EDIT:

Added some more videos below from my friends Iphone.

Unfortunately he has recorded everything in portrait mode which ruins the films but anyways....Here they are.

Ok next one...

This goes for 4 minutes but try and watch the whole thing as It's the in car vid of Bluey from start to finish on Rocky Track.

Apologies for my passengers filming as he was getting thrown around like a rag doll...LMAO

Unfortunately I went up first so I am not sure if anyone has any footage of me from the outside.

CAUTION: F bomb dropped at very end of film.

Again, shakey filming at the start.

By the way - just watched the video and I had no lockers on ... like everything else on my truck, they didn't work!!! Turned them on at the bottom and something shorted out and it stalled the truck!!! Just want it noted that it looked like I did it easier, but that's because Tank is a weapon!!!! lmao!!! Not because of lockers!!!

My hissy fit complete!!! lol

nice one fellas, great vids................... looking forward to seeing some more

Great trip, thanks everyone for an awsome day. Rocky track was a blast and I think Plassy had the drive of the day with that one. Good work mate.
Dito Tusman from Plassy I'm sure we'll be organising another one soon and hopefully see you on the tracks. We need more Shorties.
