Great bit of hand built trail through native forest combining rocks and natural features. It has a nice creek gap at the 2/3 the way down with a easy option on the left.

This trail is the old climb (Weezer) in reverse. In 2024 it had a new top section cut into it which is accessed off Whisky Creek. It's grade 4 at the top and the bottom. The old access point from the junction up the hill is sill visible in the scrub.

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.
