Steep slippy start, mixed with a couple of shoots and drops then into fast jumps, berms and rocks. This majority of the track had a significant upgrade in November 2019. The middle and bottom sections had berms and jumps reshaped and drainage work completed in advance of the 2020 National Series. The track runs awesome now and has a super easy shuttle (7 minutes up) which enables four runs per hour.

A dual direction trail that starts in the middle of Sound Garden, its pretty flat to start with then climbs a short pinch to get onto the water race that traverses around the back of Bluff hill, it then climbs again past Mr G then joins ZZ Top just above the junction. Rides really well in reverse direction too. Best avoided when wet.
