        A racetrack connecting Hippy’s, Hospital Jumps, Bomb Hole, Saddle Jumps, Water Tower and Trevor.

        I'm not an enduro rider but SuperD strikes me as firmly grade 4. It depends on the trail condition and what bike you're on. My experience on an XC bike is that this is harder than Makara's Starfish. There are large sections of SuperD that are basically connecting easy-level trails. The faster you go, the easier it gets.

        An intermediate trail all the way along, with a very short Grade 4 rooty section at Bomb Hole, and an optional section before the road crossing in which the rider can choose between a 3 or 4 route.

        Great track for learning basic skills on.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
