A steeper and more technical descending challenge then elsewhere in the park. Survive the rocks in the top half and you have a bit more speed, drops jumps and flow at the bottom.
Machine built, imported rocks expertly placed.

      Calling this steep is a joke. Not a black. Complete lack of maintenance which is typical for Aus.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
