@@myridewellington7476 I was a little disappointed.. all the good jumps were doubles making it very hard to learn on and theres a REALLY BAD design to the left right sweep at the top that is going to put a learner in the trench directly beyond... otherwise a great track for the skilled but my quest for a good training ground for jumps goes on (Makara peak also doesn't cater for beginners with really only 1 jump for them, but with an annoying pre jump just to phase them out.

My fav from way back, such a blast. And love the Makara Peak too and miss the boys at MudCycle. Fuck I am old.
This is awesome content. Are you planning on doing mt vic / makara / wanui?
Absolutely! Just been waiting for some good weather :)
Totally agree, this is awesome, especially for learning the area. Thanks team!
I go here everyday and everything looks so small on the camara lol

The fence does come up fast. The track is very accommodating for riders not used to jumping so I would definitely recommend giving it a go!

Mate the jumps are fine just do each section till you have it sorted
