Trail Roller Coaster
The second half, after Split Enz has enjoyed a lot of maintenance recently to manage all the rain we've had. It's in great condition. Thank you team, really appreciated.

Trail Split Enz
I met a bunch of really nice riders calling themselves the Wrinkly Riders. I tagged along with them and they selected Split Enz! The trail is a lot bumpier than then I first used to ride it (before any harvesting at all). But it has handled the weather well and I had a huge smile at the bottom!

Wide open steep DH sections and uphill climbs. Track is mainly wide open.

Trail Split Enz
So far this is the most fun downhill track I've done in the park, flows really nice with great speed, rutted sections add to the smiles as you hold on tight. Legs definitely are feeling the burn by the end though.

Trail Frontal Lobotomy
Rode this today while on our way to Shark v Eagle.
Posted as Grade 2 but I would not recommended to anybody who cannot manage grade 3. It is a knarly climb and challenging in places and probably should be a G3 when you looking at Grade 3 description. The track was otherwise in good order

Note: the second half of this route (also known as Pondy Skid) is completely overgrown as of 7/7/2020. Accessible going down from the end of Pondys elevator (just) but impossible going up.

Trail Yellow Brick Road
Awesome trail, great scenery, nice and smooth not too many roots, however wouldn't really agree with the "downhill primary" label. The first 1/2 to 2/3 is uphill, and there's a relatively short downhill after that. The return trail "Yellow Brick Road Return" is much more fun, mostly downhill and flowy. We took our 2 year old on it and he was just giggling with excitement the whole way down. Definitely a great fun trail for anyone who's new to mountain biking.

Adrian said there is going to be a slight change in MTB due to logging activities ... but this does look like the bulk of the course
