A techy adventure in a familiar place. Ride machete as creator intended. Pedal up access road to bush party. Two small step drops that need to be aimed between trees and you have connected to Raven. Flow the raven. For slinky pick the eroded route closer to river with some steep rolls and erosion drops.
