The new Screamers starts from the old Screamers start point at the Maraetai end. The new line is fast, full of jumps, some wallrides, pumping sections, a fishladder stepdown, before finishing with a winding singletrack down the last ridge line. All jumps are rollable and some bypasses are offered.

Access Info

Ride in from the Rewa Road entrance. Follow the road untill you come to the first road on your left. This is a pretty steep road, but follow it all the way to the end and you will find an amazing view and the trail entrance on your right.
