HSD is a thigh slapping, raucous, rip snorter of a track. By far the most popular track at Gawton Gravity Hub, HSD is all things to all people. With its smooth flowing multi hit lines and easy going curves it is within the reach of most folk who have spent a few hours on a mountain bike. Ride it at speed however and it becomes a rollercoaster challenge, full of opportunities to really get the adrenalin flowing. These attributes make it as popular with the hardcore Downhill elite as it is with those just dipping their toe in the water
