Think you’re up to riding a World Cup level DH track? Well this is your opportunity. The Fuzz is a tip of the hat to a local legend and the Skyline section of the Downhill line used for Crankworx 2015 and 2016. It leads almost immediately into a rock garden and bridges. The bridges have very steep descents off them with a rock garden between them. The rest of the track is fast and open with features. The Fuzz finishes with a steep off camber section under the gondola line, so you will always have spectators.

Access Info

The lower half of the course is run at Skyline and is accessed through the park. Upper sections of the course are not available to ride day to day.

      Why is this listed as a blue. Shouldn't it be a Grade 6 Black?
