491 is an alternative to Spoonhill. Both are technical DH trails but 491 can be ridden in the wet. 491 meets up with Spoonhill after about 500 meters. The trail has quite a few drop offs, is quite rooty in places and several of the drops are quite rutted (so can be railed easily).When joined back with Spoonhill trail be sure to take the Nga Tuna turn off on the right otherwise you'll have to complete all of Spoon hill and then ride back to the Wiau carpark. It's not far though.

Boderline is a high speed, technically challenging piece of singletrack. Hand built by BAMBA as the first trail following the loss of existing trails in the felled Danzig pine block. It is a mix of flowing trail, drops, exposed roots, rocks and banked turns. Lots of sustained steep sections with compulsory technical lines, minimal pedaling required.The clay trail surfaces makes for extremely slippery conditions when wet. However, it dries quickly on a fine day on account of the trail's exposure to sun and wind.
