It starts at the very northern end of the park off the main gravel road and heads back to the southwest through undulations and around trees. It eventually doubles back to head north and climbing up via switchbacks you come out almost opposite the entrance to Kahore Tau.The trail was mainly digger built by TrailPro during early winter 2017. Their work in the park during this period was funded by grants from the TSB Community Trust and the New Zealand Community Trust.

Downhill track, narrow and rooty but with a mellow gradient. Can exit early towards Climb-Ax, at the end onto the forestry road or turn left on the start of Snake and Ladders

Built in 2 stages, the lower section opened in 2013. A couple of years later the top section with the Tree 60 degree berm was opened. This trail can be rolled easily if going slowly, but with increased speed you need to be on top of your game to negotiate the jumps/drops that come in rapid succession.

Narrow and rooty, but lots of fun. The entrance is left off Cashflow Extention and starts with a short climb and flat section, but then it soon gets into the downhill proper. It has a fast exit onto the forestry road so take care to look for other users.Named as a tribute to a NZ Rock band, this trail was first started in 2013.
