When linked up to the Lava Flow decent this forms the longest decent in OMV.
Expect this section to have a number of rock gardens and a couple of armored berms with a number of opportunities for drops if you are going fast enough.
All features are roll-able but this is definitely a trickier section than most others in the bike park.

Access Info

Can be found either at the end of the Pool Climb (take the two-direction connector to the left), or you you can get a little extra downhill if you enter this trail from the Hornsby Park trail head.
