Flat start transitions into an awesome techy, rooty, rocky trail that keeps on going! A challenge to keep the flow but when you do it is sweet. Narrow trees add to the fun.

If you love Unhinged and Maitland Ridge, you will love Duck Down as well. Nice piece of tech!

Feels like a walking track you can ride. Hard to keep up speed, not worth the ride up in my opinion.

More of a steep walking track you can ride. Not for me. Kind of pointless really.

Great track - technical and steep rocky descents. If you’re after a smooth flowing downhill, choose something else.
