Adventure is about experiencing life. It is about looking at the world from a different perspective. It is choosing to see the beauty from the ordinary and finding ways on how to do it differently. It is about treading a different path, embracing your individuality and connecting with nature.
Adventure is not just hanging off a cliff on a rope it is exploring where you are and choosing to look at it differently. It’s going on a road trip not because you want to reach a particular destination, but because the journey there would awesome!
Adventure is thinking big about who you are. It’s about identity, life and legacy. It fosters curiosity, grit, determination and resilience. Adventure is about getting outside our comfort zone, breaking your routine and committing to the lessons we learn in the outdoors, rising to challenges and unveiling our true potential.
Every day can be an adventure.
Our lives today are fast-paced, technology-packed bundles of busyness. Between work, the commute, taking care of the family, cooking and cleaning, watching television, connecting on social media, and more, we’re spending an average of 90% of our time sitting down indoors. This is not good and is having a negative impact on our physical and mental health.
We believe it is time we unplugged, switched off the devices and stepped outside.
Adventure, the outdoors and radical thinking is a growing movement. What we do is designed for that emerging wave. Our focus is on opportunity and completion – not competition. Our aim is to delight through unexpected surprises and enabling people to do their best – at whatever level that may be. Our aim also is to unite people through collective achievement and a common appreciation of the outdoors. In short we aim to WOW.
How we do this is, we believe, quite exceptional. Like our name it’s fun, it’s different. Like our name, it’s out there. Like ‘one day, someone will think up this crazy stuff and do it’ is out there. That someone is us. And that stuff isn’t always crazy. Sometimes it’s obvious. It’s just that no one has been clever enough or crazy enough or daring enough to do it before now.

Sadly Geocentric’s @Dragon Trail MTB Festival is no more.
Only last week Rapid Ascent announced the end of the Eagle Bay Epic.
These were two extremely well run events that created a complete experience for participants and engaged the community but have become unviable.
The cost to run major events is high - time and money.
A number of other profile events are not selling out and taking entries nearly the day before. In previous years they would have wait lists.
Others still sell out in a matter of hours.
My question to you is - what’s going on? What is driving this change to participation? Is there a pattern?
I’d be interested in your thoughtsThe end of the Trail, that of the Dragon. It’s official, there are no plans to run the Dragon Trail Stage MTB in the foreseeable future.
The reasons behind this are complex but also simple. When the initial concept was launched in 2018, we believed this could be a world class stage event attracting riders from around the country and world to enjoy the incredible trails NE Tasmania has to offer. Attracting close to 400 riders for the inaugural 2020 event (which cancelled a week out due to the arrival of COVID) it seemed a lot of people agreed with us. The 3 events that have run were fantastic events supported by wonderful people and have been a privilege to run. Unfortunately, total rider numbers have reduced and there are not enough entry fees to balance the budget in this larger style event. In recent years there has been a shift away from cross country and longer endurance events across the board. It doesn’t look like this trend will change.
So the Dragon is taking a bow and saying a huge thank you to all those who made the trip to take part in this crazy race. It was a lot of fun and pain ;-). May that climb up Blue Tier live on in everyone’s hearts!!!
A huge thanks to the councils, Events Tasmania and all the people & businesses that made it what it was.
See you out on the trails, they are still there and as brilliant as ever.

Love this piece from DR MARIANA BRUSSONI
Why Children Need Risk, Fear, and Excitement in Play
When children have the time, space, and freedom to play the way they choose, it’s not long before they start taking risks in their play, such as climbing higher than they usually do, building secret dens, or racing on their bikes. This is no accident. Children are wired for risky play, in which they take physical risks, seek excitement, and satisfy curiosity.
More outdoor unstructured play that encourages imaginative exploration would have a profound positive impact on the community.
