      		 Awesome track, views, beech forest in most part a well maintained track, some minor slips but very rideable.

      		 Brilliant traverse track with great views. Thanks for all that work to make it a smooth ride across to Bush Creek Saddle.

       Tech style section with berms and small tabletops and other jumps makes for an awesome start to a very cool ride. From the o’Connel climb it becomes a lot less flowy and gives way to more water crossings and exposed edges. Still good fun and great to continue down to arrowtown
