NGT has that awesome rake and ride feel with steep and sketchy sections, big features, a relentless pace that keeps you on your toes and it all finishes off with a SICK berm and MASSIVE gap jump. It is something you'll be stoked to have conquered for sure

Designed and built by talented local trail builders in collaboration with Rotorua Lakes Council and Rotorua Trails Trust, NGT is part of a trio of community-built trails, including Ultra Rosa and Anxiety. We extend a huge congratulations and thank you to the community builders who dedicated hundreds of hours to handcraft this epic trail. The amount of dirt moved to create the final berm and gap jump alone is mind-boggling!

Before opening any trail, we invite a select few local riders to audit it and provide feedback. This ensures the trail is safe and within its designated grade, making it a true community project from start to finish.

NGT can be found to the left of Anxiety, it runs for 700m down to Pipeline road at the same location Anxiety exits.

As always folks, make the first lap a chill one, and if you can not confidently ride the opening feature, this trail is not for you.
