Follow on track from "V". Narrow dirt track in trees. Has two sections, first ends with an off camber roll down onto a walking track, second starts straight across that track with a little chute and ends in the same place as lower TTS. Both sections, especially the lower one are trickier when wet, or when very dry and dusty. Most of this track is intermediate level (Grade 3) but the end of the first section and start of the second one are advanced. (Grade 4)

Alternative access to or from Alexandra Park, good for returning to the summit of the super D. It follows the contours rather than heading up the Ridge.

Moderately technical track dropping down towards Charles Plimmer Park. Everything on it can be rolled but also fun at speed with some air possible in sections.

This track provides a nice alternative to the steep Hataitai to City track. Instead of heading straight up the hill, this track wanders up through the bush at a gentle gradient.About 0.1km up from the bottom the track crosses the Hinau Street spur of the Hataitai to City track. Just after a switchback the track divides into two paths the original track continues south to soon rejoin the Hataitai to City track, while a newer section turns north to continue gently climbing up to Alexandra Road.This is an excellent off road climb up to the summit when linked with Shuttle Cook and heading around the velodrome.
