Undulating return trail, a few switchbacks climb to a lovely view over Derby township. Recent track work has made it smoother and much easier around the last uphill berm - much improved! KM

Trail Flickity Sticks Upper
Recently re-opened after extensive track work, and wow! They’ve done an amazing job! Flickety is popular for a reason! It’s now got a few spots with options for easy roll-through B lines or bumps and jumps that are new, and have made some of the old trickier rutted berms and drops smoother and easier. Awesome! Starting at black stump, and finishing at 5 ways junction, it’s worth climbing long shadows for another go down the roller coaster.

First half includes some rocky slabs, technical uphill corners with rocks and roots for an uphill puff, but those smooth sweeping berms and fast descent are just amazing, and well worth the effort! It blends with Atlas & Dambusters for that roller coaster of berms to finish. KM

Nice top to bottom trail that gets pretty tricky in a couple little spots. Let it go at the top it's quick and fun and the rock slabs are mostly pretty smooth and big.

November 2019 and its pretty chunked out compared to last year. Brilliant trail made more gnarly and challenging due to its weathered condition

Not for the faint hearted!! Muscle up and blast down. Join the multitudes (myself included haha) that have lost some skin and blood down the infamous "Chute". Also known as "The Big Crack", "The Big Divide", and "The Narrow Bit". And if you can successfully hit the "Lillypad Gap" a bit further up, count yourself with the pros!!
