Slant Six runs from either the Luge or the Blackberry Climb trails to the Wombat Junction (home of the Willow Memorial). While it is rated blue, this is mostly down to the rocks at the entrance and exit, which can be mostly ridden around - the middle section is dark green. This trail is mostly traverse with a hint of descent to it to keep your speed up and a couple of ascent sections to keep you honest.
