The catalyst for the Skyline Gravity Park that has now become somewhat of an institution. This Intermediate/Advanced trail provides a plethora of mountain bike experience with machine built berms, step downs, gap jumps, hand built trail, the list goes on. Oh, and not to mention it now leads into Moss Piglet and our new jumps track”. All of this fun wrapped up in a warp speed package of 3-4 minutes top to bottom.

Some trail maintenance going on at the start but apart from that 10m stretch it’s really good. Fast and flowy.
