World Cup / World Champs / now Crankworx Cairns track.
What else is there to say, just look at the photos and videos.
Double Black Downhill Track
Top Corners are tight and technical especially in the dry - which they are most of the year.
The rock garden is slow technical with many optional line choices, alien tree is a claybased soil feature and can be nightmare in the wet, the jumps are long gaps at high speed and the whoops are unavoidable.
Then the track ducks back into the rainforest in "vines" this technical section is difficult at speed and the Generator feature now has drops into a high speed berm to be respected. This trail - it's remoteness - technical features and speed should always be respected and advanced skill level expected.
