Runs from a skid site half way up Danzig 4x4 slogger road and follows on nicely from Electric Avenue. A bit harder than Electric Avenue. Can also be reached by climbing 4 Degrees and Connect Four. A bit easier than Borderline but still has a couple of sustained steep sections. You could also reach it by coming down the logging track from the Old Coach Road, but you lose a lot of height and the logging track has lots of unpleasant loose shingle and is not not recommended. Lower part can connect with the jumps alternative to the bottom of Borderline.
Weta replaces the destroyed Big weta that existed before the logging.

      Drying out in the sun. Running very fast. Watch your speed as you get lower down.

      What could have been… The benchmark for a modern flow trail is McNearly Gnarly in Queenstown, and any new/rebuilt flow trail should try to emulate it for sheer fun factor. Unfortunately the new Weta is rather featureless and boring save for about 3 double-able rollers up top, and two good sized tables at the bottom - the rest is just motorway bermsville.

      Rebuild is very impressive with large berms and features for more advanced riders to try and jump or double. Now a bit easier than Electric Avenue.
