Summary:
Good but take a hardtail
Review:
This is a great place to take anybody who is learning to ride, because it has various track difficulties, that incurage you to ride more and more all the way round. The tracks have a lot off good manmade features and it is clear that they have put a lot of effort into it.
Problems are
1. The clime at the start. Athough easy, it goes allmost half way round before you get to anything more challenging to ride than over a couple of rocks at climing speed.
2. This seemed to be very smooth all the way round. No need for full suss.
3. Any more than a 100mm hardtail is a waste and just slows you down.
4. The bottom of the hill is 3/4 of the way round meening you clime to the finish which seems dissapointing.
5. Downhills seem to end to quick
6. This track is used by a lot of people and if you can ride at all you ae bound to come up behind a 30 strong group.
Good points
1. Lot of building lots of jumps
2. Bring your family friends and if they can't ride the blak trail there is plenty more to do.
3. Good to learn on.
4. Encouraging and exciting for anyone who has just started riding this stuff.
5. You are bound to come up behind a group of about 30 people and overtaking can be fun on the singetrack.
In general a good track but just but just diddn't seem to flow.

Too Slow, jumps like molehills, perfect for beginers
Review:
The black decent not fast enough, doesnt flow that well to keep the speed up. The jump section is a joke, jumps about a foot high. Wouldn't even rate it as a red never mind a black..
Saying that I've been there in pouring rain, still rides ok, very well built just bit tame, great for beginers...

got potential
Review:
Overall, not a bad ride, don't be misled by a promise of a "black" run, obviously the person responsible for this title has never been to the Alps. It's a great challenge for beginners or kids and this is what the owners must be aiming the place at.(the place also closes when it gets too windy or if a bit of ice appears- BE WARNED check website)
Gets very busy at weekends, so best going during the week, facilities aint too bad, but the new jet washes are a bit lame.
Overall, if you're experienced, or like it tough, go elsewhere........until they do some REAL black runs.

Flawed Genius
Review:
Fantastic flowing descents with great switchbacks
Some perfectly spaced jumps
Good steady climbs that help build fitness
The worst section of any trail centre anywhere (that's rights, stupid wood log section on the red trail, I'm talking about you!)
Good facilities
