      Easiest of the "new" black trails (Pavlova, Dig this). Pretty tight and switchbacky in places.

      If you are unsure: Try to ride (incl. harder lines on) "Fade to black" first to see if you will like "Double Happy".

      If you like Fade to black with the hard options, you will be double happy while riding Double happy.

      Absolutely incredible trail, probably the steepest of the three with some tight switchbacks and great catches, reminiscent of butters in Nelson, couldn’t stop laughing most the way down because it was just so good, while it’s fresh anyway.

      Clearly this track is generating some debate regarding it’s difficulty compared with neighbouring tracks. It comes down to preference: If you prefer your tech to come with a bit of speed and flow, you will find Dig and Pav easier. If you prefer slow tight and janky, you will find this easier.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
