Summary:
good for dh beginers or any XCrs but can get a bit boring after a while

Review:
the red route is not very steep but quite fun with berms rocky sections and a large boulder drop follwed by a few smaler ones.
The black route is a lot steeper and technical with a mini freeride park at the bottom with skinnies and a seesaw.
the only down side is the push up i find it easier to go up the road from the car park.
these routes are not realy suited for downhill bikes you would bee better of with an all mountain.
dont bother going two the top the trails across the road they have being destroyed due to tree falling

Fantastic XC descent!

Review:
I must have ridden the decent line about 30 times now and it's still as much fun as the first time if not better. You've just got to go for it hell for leather and pedal hard in a couple of places! There's a big boulder drop about half way down that's not bad if you roll it but still haven't got the guts to jump it. 2 mins 28 is the fastest that any one in our group has done it. I agree it's not a DH course but there is a few downhill runs in the Norwood side across the road.

Summary:
A bit of relief from the slow speed techy stuff

Review:
Unfortunatley, when it was finished, people on the internet started refering to this as the Downhill Line. Downhillers are turning up expecting a downhill track, which it isn't and was never intended as. It's an XC rocky descent line not a downhill line. All of Stainburn, including the Descent Line is techy XC.
