Just amazing

Review:
Could clear everything pretty easy, but the best thing is is that you choose the difficulty. If your a novice you can just roll over the tabletops and stuff, but if your good you can clear everything and fit in a couple of tricks. I just wish you went a bit more up the way though. And if they put gaps in, that would be awesome, but it would put too many people off. Still a 10 from me though!

Summary:
Superb route, big big climb, fun descents

Review:
This is a must do trail for sure and excellent fun descents after the long haul climb (especially 'one big long haul' from the Hub carpark).

The Spooky Wood descent is superb and can be repeated as many times as you want by return to the summit on the fire road and spooky wood climb. You can also include a play in the freeride park and maybe also try to include the excellent blue section descent called 'electic blue' which starts at buzzard nest car park next to the freeride park.

We just did the whole red route once. I think if I do it again, which I will, I will probably start from the Buzzard Nest car park and ride upto Spooky wood and just keep riding that section again and again, until I really nail it, it's that good.

However, for me, for a route to score max points, it has to offer a bit of everything, within the red grade, of course. From what I remember, the route lacks any slow speed techy trials skills. There are no northshore, rock garden, skills obstacles. That's just a personal pref, it is just fast flowing fun!!!

Summary:
Great fun and most things can be done by relative novices and XC riders

Review:
I'm reasonably adept at technical stuff, but certainly no big air merchant, so I went here slightly concerned that I would make a fool of myself or not be able to do very many of the obstacles. Infact, most stuff is rideable and achievable. You could spend a lot of time sessioning stuff. Very good fun, especially if you want to improve your skills from a low ability starting point. We spent 2 hours here and only covered a small part of the area.
