Starting off at The Plateau you’ll find yourself on a machine groomed flow track with big berms with optional jumps and drops on the side. Meandering across the plateau you will soon boost into the finest native bush. The trail narrows down to smooth single track and gently descends winding through the trees. The occasional steeper corner with catch berm at the end makes this trail at the lower end of grade 4. Leaving the natives the trail crosses OC Track. Follow the windy trail through a section of big pine trees before rollercoastering through a halfpipesk channel and finishing off on the 4X Access Track.

Access Info

From the plateau. Looking towards town, take the middle entry.
