This trail begins behind the start ramp of the ‘Dirt Jumps’. It is a great trail to warm up on or introduce new riders to the world of mountain biking.  

The gradient of this trail is mainly flat so it is also suitable for all riders. 

Riders will be challenged by roots, tree pinches, different types of corners (berms, flat & off camber), small log rolls, rollers and a few small bridge features. The trail concludes with a couple of rollers and a table top as you head back towards the Pemberton Pool and the ‘Dirt Jumps’ area.

Locals Tip: Riders looking to push their skills further can venture over to Tech Track for further technical challenges.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
