Hot damn. NZ needs more forest tracks like this. So fast, so fun. So many little side hits and extra credit lines to be found.

As above, probably the most fun trail in the area.
Rode it when slightly damp and had an absolute hoot down it jumping holes/roots/anything in sight, smashing corners and enjoying going fast without high consequence features. Thoroughly recommended for those who can ride harder Grade 3's through to Expert riders looking to shred.

Great track, but it’s G4, not G3 as currently on Trailforks. So don’t be fooled if you’re expecting a bike park G3.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
