Trail crew have made some further changes. Keep an eye out for signs when riding.

Whilst not signposted as a one way trail (down), you’d have to be naïve or stupid to climb Ballbuster! For everyone’s safety, don’t climb up this trail. You’ll get hit by someone coming down at 60+ kmph.

The jumps are so good and the bottom of the big descent and will the incredible speed you come down with you will have no trouble clearing them, but then it gets better, a fast technical descent to the bottom with some tight switchbacks. Love this trail, also you can take the extension of trail 3 to get to the top. Unfortunately due to the rain no one has ridden hear for a while but should be good when we’re all back on our bikes
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
