Norsk (English below):
En av Norges beste flytstier – et must for syklister i Nesbyen

Denne stien byr på doserte svinger, hopp, dropp og fantastisk flyt. Den kan sykles uten hopping, og alle utfordrende elementer kan omgås. Første del er håndbygd, resten er maskinbygd, med alternative linjer for ulike ferdighetsnivåer.

Halvveis ned krysser du grusveien Midtlivegen, før stien fortsetter gjennom et åpent hogstfelt og gradvis blir enklere. Stien kan avsluttes ved asfaltveien Vassfarvegen, eller turen kan forlenges ned til sentrum.

Navnet?
"Den Ravinde" betyr "Den raske" på hallingdialekt.

Shuttling:
Trailhead Nesbyen tilbyr daglig shuttling i Østsiden om sommeren. Mer info: Visitnesbyen.com.

Bygging:
Bygget 2016–2019 med støtte fra Nesbyen kommune og Tråkk n Roll.

Stien starter ved utsiktspunktet Utsikten, nær Trytetjern på toppen av Østsida i Nesbyen.

English:
One of Norway's best flow trails – a must-ride in Nesbyen!

This trail features berms, jumps, drops, and incredible flow. It can be ridden without jumping, and all technical features can be bypassed. The first section is hand-built, the rest machine-built, with alternative lines to match different skill levels.

Halfway down, the trail crosses the Midtlivegen gravel road before continuing through an open logging field, gradually becoming easier. It ends at Vassfarvegen, with an optional extension down to the town center.

The name?
"Den Ravinde" translates to "The Quick" in the Halling dialect.

Shuttling:
Trailhead Nesbyen offers daily shuttling in Østsida during summer. More info: Visitnesbyen.com.

Construction:
Built in stages from 2016–2019, funded by Nesbyen Municipality and Tråkk n Roll.

The trail starts at the viewpoint Utsikten, near Trytetjern lake at the top of Østsida in Nesbyen.

Disclaimer

The first section of the trail from Utsikten, called The Traverse, features a few exposed sections with steep drops on the left side. Take it easy here, especially in wet and slippery conditions.

      Super nice Trail - first part that leads to the machine build flow/jump section is narrow and a little bit more technical, good to know for beginners that after that parts the rest will be easy and flowy without the need to jump anything.

      From the second part on the trail has proper flow and well shaped jumps.

      Great ride feel.

      Magnificent trail ! Top part is roots and rocks. The rest of the track has a good flow. Well thought jumps, chicken lanes located so you don’t loose speed.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
