The name Black Dragon acknowledges the Chinese miners who made a home in Derby in times gone by. Perched on the rocky slopes above Devilwolf, Black Dragon is a black diamond trail for experienced riders. Constructed by hand, it features a climb, and descent and is highly technical, with rock slabs, steep pinches and agressive drops. It also links to Dam Busters, offering an alternative descent for riders coming down Dam Busters.
A killer climb, and a deadly descent

Fairly direct way to connect devilwolf straight up the the beautiful sweeping berms and fast decent of Atlas & Dambusters. I spent at least 25% walking my bike up very steep rocky bits, very technical. Great challenge for experienced, fit riders though. KM

Such a sick trail. I normally hike some of the climb but it’s so worth it. Slower more technical in section and opens up in others!!

Very tough tight climb, great slabs of rock and boulders to launch off on the way down. Need to do it a few times to get lines right and know features.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
