cheers/ love looking at it from Champion rd. and riding it will be soon(once I get my butt up there from Westport!) Denniston has some mint tech riding, but nothing easy, + great if you can get someone to show you where + w a few tips.
Been riding in Denniston yonks ago. Looks like riding on the moon. Very unique trails and good fun. Yes, now is a good time to ride Silvan. It can get dry and dusty in summer and has a few lose rocks then.
I’d say it’s a solid 4 to start with and as you descend it turns into a grade 5. Like in the third section. The steep tight corners reminded me of Mr Chomper top section corners. Sharp and short. Everything is rollable though. The views and the steepness play with your head.
Great upload, thanks! The audio sounds much better this time around too - thanks for the tips.
Hahaha, yeah I stepped up my mumbling game 😉 thanks for your feedback though and I’m sure I’ll record some trails from and to town soon.
Thanks for the video Angie. Waiting for my bike to be fixed so I can hit this one! Cheers
This track is easier to ride than to walk, you do want to have a well functioning bike for sure 🤪
Something to look forward to though!

Yo!!! This looks sick!!! Ok, time to come back to Silvan again. Looked like a solid full grade 4 plus a bit - thoughts?

@@angiebmtbnz Great description. I love Mr Chomper! My first Jericho was amplified by the backdrop.
Ha yeah, Jericho is nowadays super rough and chunky in places. Plus different features than Luna for sure.
