Greyzook and I hit the wombat today. We are still newbies so enjoy the memories of stock rigs and simple trails. We are having a bloody ball in our rigs and each weekend we find more tracks!!
Some pics and vids (quicktime required) here:

WMV?
it's not the best and not Mac compat but the files can be made very small

Nice work fellas - looks like there's good fun to be had out that way.
I'll second NAM's WMV suggestion - it's smaller, and it's another chance to raise your nose to mac owners

pretty much back to stock
gained a gear with the rockhoppers on 26s
lost a gear going to 34s
so back to stock really
in rockhopper low it still crawls better on the 34s than stock low on 26s though

imho - don't go the 32 mtrs
get some simexes - work better in victorian mud, and have a stronger sidewall

2 suggestions... try JAlbum, creates and uploads the whole photo album (creates thumbnails etc) very quickly and painlessly... it works very very well (
http://www.datadosen.se/jalbum/)
The second suggestion is if you've got Win XP, or Millenium (people use that?!) use the built in "Windows Movie Maker" to compress the videos... I personally have a 56k dial-up connection and videos is something I tend to avoid unless they're a "reasonable size"... your 4Mb video there might fit on 200kb... works well I find.
By the way, nice pics
Cheers,
Luis
