Bad Jelly

-215m

New trail for 2023 The top of Bad Jelly starts with a wee rock drop and ends with some steep corners, nice catch berms. The top half is probably now the most challenging trail in the park. It flows onto what was the old Flamin Nora trail, and gets significantly easier after crossing the Skullduggery track. A steep rooty descent.

Big Airs Jump Track

Take me to the jump track Bottom part is very steep fire break, test yourself if you're a mountain goat or push your bike up here if you're on a downhill rig and not wanting to ride up Ziggy. Second half eases up on the steepness, just a couple of short pinches before you reach Big Airs and Skullduggery and the fun begins.

Built as a climbing track, Corkscrew twists and turns its way up the hill to Jaws and the Corkscrew Lookout. A couple of short steep pinches at the bottom and top, otherwise take your time and it's an enjoyable climb. Two way track, but most traffic is uphill direction.

Part of the Tasman Great Taste Trail, so wider and smoother than the other tracks in the park. A few switchback just past the Skills Area, then undulating ride through some nice beech forest with views out over Tapu Bay. After Swish it descends down to the road, from the exit the cycle trail continues onto Riwaka and beyond. As it is part of the cycle trail expect families, new riders etc. Trail is two way - one of the few in the park - so keep left.

Probably the best trail in the park, could be described as a good Enduro trail, as there is a bit of pedalling and a few uphill sections. Small jumps, double jumps and tabletops. You can roll most of it easily but if you want to go for it you could get big air and it easily becomes a black diamond. Beware though, side of track drops of in places so if you get it wrong it's gonna hurt - but the ambulance and chopper are well aware of the track location....
