A few weeks ago I had to satisfy some curiosity and walk this. You make it look easy... there were some humongous steep drops there. I won't ever ride this. To gauge this, I can sometimes clear Ridgeline and Deliverance, and I'm very comfortable on advanced trails. Ka pai 🤙
Wow. I did a track walk this week and have a renewed appreciation for those who can bike it. Very impressed, especially with 3:20 now that I've seen how steep it is in real life. Nice work.
Thanks Corwin. That chute at 3:20 is pretty scary! I think there's a better line that's formed now that goes high right, then cuts in before you get too close to the rock wall.
Hit Down Pipe at Wrights Hill. Walked down it a few weeks ago. Probably best with the track a little tiny bit moist but not too wet. The last section is steep as bro! So you can bail out onto evil which joins into the end of Mr X.
great vids Yeah Gnar Yeah no not yet ,or ever me skiils a bit light, only gripe but some may like it the way the vids are, wouldn't mind a bit of talking through the video, what ya just hit go left or right ect , sort advice , running commentary sometimes, all good though, how much of a step up from say Vertigo was that track ?
Cheers for the suggestions, Daniel! I could try doing some voice-over commentary. I think I'm concentrating too much on tracks like this to manage commentary, It'd probably just be swearing haha. It's a huge step up from Vertigo, you should be super comfortable riding Trickle Falls before attempting Yeah Gnar.
I'd say Yeah Gnar has more challenging features and is more committing. Morepork has those two big chutes which are pretty gnarly, but besides that it's fairly chill. If you've ridden Pavlova without too much problem you should be fine on Yeah Gnar.
That's a tough question, They're very different trails. I think Yeah Gnar is a higher consequence trail and more committing, and probably has a larger number of difficult features. But I sessioned this first with some friends to scope out all the lines, whereas with Kataore I rode it blind, trying to keep up with some very talented riders, that's probably why it didn't go too well haha. Long story short I think Yeah Gnar is more difficult.
Incredible riding skill on display!
Thanks man, probably just luck haha
Sick...well done!!! Your video is as close as I will get to riding it!

I walked it today then watched this ride again. Hard pass for me, impressive skills to get down that.
@@camh2316 Thanks Cam!
It's confirmed - I don't need to try that any time soon!
Mad skilz - well done.
Thank you! It's definitely not the kind of track you want to be riding on the daily.
Scary yet so cool.
Damn. That looks pretty ruthless. Thanks for the video.
It's a lot worse than it looks on camera!
So sick and fun to watch!
Cheers Blake! Glad you enjoyed it.
Loving that trail, I need a trio to Wellington.... maybe in the summer.
The best part about riding in Welly is that most of the tracks ride just as well in the wet, especially at Makara Peak.
Nice ridng, so keen to go back when things dry out a bit, need to link it all together.
Thanks Ben! Keen, and we need to session K-hole too.
K hole is awesome, you not done it? Will be slick unless get few dry days though
@@niteryder50 It might have to wait until summer at this rate.
It can be all good in winter just give it some time. See how weather goes
@3:57 looks right on the limit of rideable
Yeah, it's a pretty scary corner. The hardest part is that there are no particularly good lines.

I walked it a while ago and had a hard enough time. I think I'll leave that one to you 😂
Nice work mate! clean run!
Cheers guys!
Holy crap.
That's awesome trail and video bro. Someday I will trying but slowly 🐌
Thanks man! There's some great trails in Makara Peak to build up to it.
@@TrailAtlas yeah alot great trails in Makara Peak.
sweet run, just subscribed
Nice riding!
Thanks man!
#PrayingForTrailAtlas 🤣 Well ridden, and I guess K-Hole is the last one to go then?
Haha thanks Charlie! It is, although it's not the best winter track, I might have to hold out until we get some nice dry dirt.

Great vid! Awesome work. Rode Morepork today- for reference how much harder is this?
I'd say Yeah Gnar has more challenging features and is more committing. Morepork has those two big chutes which are pretty gnarly, but besides that it's fairly chill. If you've ridden Pavlova without too much problem you should be fine on Yeah Gnar.
@@TrailAtlas thanks mate! In agreement about Morepork. Pavlova a lot of fun; once you’ve got some lines sorted.
Captions on for a little easter egg
Prayers appreciated 🙏
Did you find this harder or easier than Kataore (King of Roots) in Rotorua?
