    Skyline Rotorua

Some might argue, but this Hipster is “actually” cool. In fact, the reaction after riding this track has been the same every time- “wow”. Hipster breaks off from the Sprint Warrior and flows seamlessly from chiselled berm to chiselled berm. The speed, flow and jumps we’ve added for good measure are bound to bring a smile to everyone’s dial. Finishing at the Sprint Warrior table top allows you to pull your sickest whip for the audience riding the gondola above. Hipster is bound to be a favourite and won’t disappoint.
