Sixtapod is the longest and probably most popular trail on the mountain. Riders of any ability can enjoy this trail. It starts in the open on rocky ground and then enters the woods to take in a series of jumps, rollers and berms. Stand by the side of this trail and listen to the laughs of other riders heading down the hill. Definitely a classic.

      CLOSED as of 06/09/18: Ask at Reception when re-opening but could be due to Forestry work?
