Vasbyt: NOTE - MAKE YOUR TRAIL CHOICE AT THE START AND DO NOT CROSS INTO THE NEIGBOURING DH3 TRACK BELOW THE VASBYT UPPER START. THIS IS FOR YOUR AND OTHER RIDER'S SAFETY. From the trail head on level 2 take the new entrance into a left hand berm and over the recently revised upper section. Stay left of the DH line and head over a few speed inducing rollers that guarantee some air time if you're off the brakes. The trail drops and rises here like a rollercoaster and speed control is a must as the trail narrows into a fast right hand berm into a high speed run over a mini table top. Then it heads into a series of super new berms which add huge flow to
the flatter middle section. A few small, avoidable jumps spice this section up further. The trail descends into more natural sandy terrain around these berms and straights before a long reinforced berm heads into rockier loose terrain as the this upper section of Vasbyt crosses a jeep track and enters Vasbyt Lower.
Is this trail for you?: Vasbyt requires good brake control to manage speed up top and the ability to ride sometimes slippery berms. All the trail features such as drops, jumps and such like are avoidable. The trail surface varies from smooth compacted dirt to loose rocks that can easily unsettle a rider.

Access Info

The best way to ride Vasbyt is from the trailhead as the Main Jeep Track meets the Level 2 Jeep Track. Climb the Main Jeep Track until you see the Level 2 Jeep Track on the right. A short climb takes you past DH3 on your right and then Vasbyt's entrance close to the farm fence line.
