Technical downhill trail with multiple line choices all over.

Maidstone Jump Track

Machine built jump track that breaks off from the DH track a few corners in, and rejoins the main trail in the forest.

Maidstone Park Multi Use Trail

Multi use/direction trail to the top of Maidstone park. Can be used to access the DH Track, but has a few set of steps so you'll need to hike a bike. If you're using it for coming downhill, please keep an eye out for walkers and give way to hill traffic.

Mt Frith Track

Has potential to be a good ride, but given the amount of gorse and the like near the bottom, check with locals about the condition of the track before heading out. It does get a trim every so often, but if you do venture out, expect to come back with pin pricked legs.

Rimutaka Rd Summit Track

Tramping/walking singletrack heads into the Tararuas and to the power line tracks on the main ridgeline.

Scooters

Upper Maidstone DH

It's mostly a multi use gravelled walking track, but with one huge double halfway down, before a short climb back up to the start of the main DH track. Only rated Grade 4 if you're hitting this jump.
