"adventure and adrenaline are the key ingredients of mountain biking. australia has never had as many clubs, trails or riders. for some, it is an extreme sport – they have the scars and the broken bones to show for it. but to succeed, a tourist destination needs to cater for various ages and abilities."
菲尔·默瑟 bbc通讯员
“冒险的乐趣和肾上腺素的上升是吸引人们参与山地自行车运动的关键元素。澳大利亚从未有过如此多的俱乐部、赛道和骑手。对一些人来说，这是一项极限运动，他们身上的伤疤和断过的骨头便可以证明这一点。但要想成功振兴城镇经济，旅游目的地得满足不同年龄和能力者的活动需要。”

"if i can't get out on my bike, i'm not a very happy person. when you are on a nice singletrack carving through the forest, it's got a lot of links to surfing or snowboarding. just that feeling of just movement, just… you get in a good rhythm."
尼克·斯密 south coast united mountain bikers 主席
