Trail Three Brothers (Part 2)
Technical features don’t only define the difficulty of trails @deester. Factors like width of the bench and corridor, gradient, steepness of short sections and exposure on outside of trail go into the mix when grading a trail. Take a beginner who is comfortable on genuine G2 like Magic Carpet and it’s a step up.

Trail Sally Alley
The revised version of Sally Ally is an uncanny ride, where the perfectly-groomed machine-dug trail seems inexplicably cambered and determined to throw you into the abyss. It is a truly soulless trail. I expect that it will wear in over the next few years to be much better. Watch this space.

Trail Sally Alley
Rebuilt last section has smoothed out all technical sections. Disappointing after what it used to be like. There was a slip I believe but did the whole section have to be flattened?

Have to say that this is never a blue/intermediate trail - I can't remember one single technical feature on it. Definitely a green trail in my opinion.

Trail Sally Alley
Great trail! Good for bikers looking to move up from green to blue trails! Not many steep climbs and descents and fairly flat. Definetly one of my favorite Makara trails and the views are stunning!

Very good and rideable uphill follow up for Koru! Great work!

Best uphill I have ever ridden...and I hate uphills! But this can easily be done even with my super heavy freeride bike! Nice work
