Reviews for Ae Line Trail

Summary:
worth it just for omega man

Review:
I'm an old git at 40 and have been mtb'ing for about 3 years, not mega fit and ok on the technical stuff. If this sounds like you, then you will love this trail. I drove for 3 hours to do this with my riding mate and it was awesome. great mix of climbs, singletrack and exciting downhill sections. Its a hard slog all the way round but there are enough sections to get you grinning which make up for the climbs in between. The last bit is best in my opinion with Omega man ending in a succession of jumps, tables etc which are ok for intermediate level. there is plenty of space to bottle out if you have to, but don't - go for it - you will be grinning from ear to ear when you have finished !!!!

Summary:
just stick to the last section! exalent!

Review:
is you got your bar tweaks, no footers, no handers , turndowns, tables just stylin' freeride tricks down this is the place that makes them look cooler! if you push up from the carpark up the north shore section you will find a scotish freeriders dream. honsetly well worth a look! loads of big tables, doubles, drops, techie but simple downhill stuff all shaken together to make an awsum track. and the locals are adding new things like a sweet road/trail gap! and its quite new so all lips are still intact!

Summary:
Bit of an epic

Review:
This ones a bit of a monster - more like 14.5 miles than 12 and took nearly 2 1/2 hours to complete, so combining it with mabie on the same day would be quite an achievement.The initial few trail sections are quite average but quite flowing in places, and throws in some nasty drop-offs early on (throwing me off at one point) on the steep bit before the river crossing.

The Edge is a great bit of flowing singletrack that clings to a steep verge to begin with and then enters the forest and becomes ultra twisty, up and down and great fun!!

If your a jump fanatic then the final Omega Man section is biking heaven as every 20 yards theres some sort of tabletop, single or twin jump and some massive berms. The very last section is actually double black diamond graded (with mandatory air) so watch out and be prepared to either jump some colossal heights or chicken out (and still get some air!!). Definitely had me scared enough not to return back (yet) but thinking about it this summer - waiting for the shipment of body armour to arrive first!!

Great trail.
