Review:
i have been riding these trails for the past 5/6 years. i love them!
unfortunately last year my bike went walkies.....
so these, i admit, are a bit out of shape, and not as good as they once were. i am in the process of getting myself a new bike so these jumps will start to come alive again, so all those who have ridden these in the past, do start coming up again as 2 shovels are better than 1!!!!!!!

hope to see you all soon

Review:
I haven't ridden these yet but I intend to next week. They look very simple, I spoke to a few of the locals, most of whom were very friendly and I discovered that they trail is council built. It Shows.

There are no gaps, only Tables, really to be expected from a council in a small close knit village. Can't go endangering local kids too much.

The middle trail is the one primarily used by the locals while we were there. A tall (6-8') Tabletop followed by a 3' mound, then hairpins right with a tall berm, unfortunately non of the locals appeared able to keep enough speed to use the berm and hit the following 3-4' tables.

Another problem pointed out by the locals was that the kidlets that play on it can't hit lips so all the jumps are rounded off. They try to rebuild but the kidlets just ride the tack the wrong direction and round it all off again.

This could be really good trail just as soon as the riders begin to take things into their own hands and maintain the trails. The council has given them a good start and now all it takes is the locals to watch the track and learn what needs to be done to maintain it, instead of just riding it. They need to put in some drainage, try and keep the kidlets in check,

Great but...

I have only ridden this place a few times. The set of larger table tops are very compact, the berm leading up to the set of table tops is always waterlogged. It needs a little bit of reshaping, other than that perfect.
