Having gotten the legs warmed up on Simple Jack, Day Walker breaks off to the right soon after you enter the Redwoods. This track is a good opportunity to get back to some more “old school” riding; a track forged with a grubber, rake, blood, sweat and blisters. As a step-up to an intermediate track, Day Walker provides a narrower and steeper decline than Simple Jack, which makes for a really fun little piece of riding.

Some might argue, but this Hipster is “actually” cool. In fact, the reaction after riding this track has been the same every time- “wow”. Hipster breaks off from the Sprint Warrior and flows seamlessly from chiselled berm to chiselled berm. The speed, flow and jumps we’ve added for good measure are bound to bring a smile to everyone’s dial. Finishing at the Sprint Warrior table top allows you to pull your sickest whip for the audience riding the gondola above. Hipster is bound to be a favourite and won’t disappoint.

Hucks n' Hooves is our brand new intermediate jump track. Named for the massive amount of jumps (40) over its 1.6km length and the numerous dear prints that got laid into the track by some wandering stags. It has the signature Empire of Dirt flow and guaranteed to leave every rider with a smile. If you want to learn to jump and corner this trail is for you. A better starting point than Mr Black. If you already have the skills then hit it anyway and polish the cornering and manual skills. Hucks n' Hooves is a feature trail so get into it

The catalyst for the Skyline Gravity Park that has now become somewhat of an institution. This Intermediate/Advanced trail provides a plethora of mountain bike experience with machine built berms, step downs, gap jumps, hand built trail, the list goes on. Oh, and not to mention it now leads into Moss Piglet and our new jumps track”. All of this fun wrapped up in a warp speed package of 3-4 minutes top to bottom.
