TTFs on TrailBerm, Drop, Jump
The trail is predominantly downhill, with several features which more experienced riders can jump if they choose. There are either easier lines around the features, or the features are designed to be able to roll over at low speed as well as launching them at high speed.
The drops and jumps are designed to allow riders to learn how to ride these types of obstacles before progressing to the much harder Taniwha downhill track.
