divernick Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 There are little "bumps" on "The green mile", specially at the start. Are they for "pumping" to carry speed or are they jumps? They seem a bit far apart to clear the gap, but too close to land safely in between them.I believe they are pump-bumps.

ewep Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 OK, so Sunday will be my first ride at the park. A bit apprehensive as I haven't been on anything technical-ish in 6 years!
CycleLab Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 OK, so Sunday will be my first ride at the park. A bit apprehensive as I haven't been on anything technical-ish in 6 years!No need to worry, trails are colour coded so you can ease yourself back into the tech stuff.When you get to the park, ask any of our reception team or manager on duty and they will assist with planning a route for you.See you Sunday.

You could manual them as you become more familiar with the trail.

GREAT fun!!! Got there and, as usual, just went ahead and rode. As I've said, great fun. The green trails were fun, but I think it's time for some blue when I visit again.
Mar Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Rode there on Sat, great fun as always. Love the green mile, just need to get the courage to do those drop-offs on the blue split.Where is the entrance to what use to be "Anti-Gravity" and the entrance for the new bridges that goes over the perimeter road?
ewep Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Did the blue split on the Green Mile, but those jumps right at the berm messed with my peanut a bit. Need to get some training on that. The bit of "rock garden" was great fun though!

Love the green mile, just need to get the courage to do those drop-offs on the blue split.Where is the entrance to what use to be "Anti-Gravity" and the entrance for the new bridges that goes over the perimeter road? The two fly over bridges are for the new trail we are currently building. Not open yet, the team is working hard to get it finish before the end of January. It is going to be super cool. The old Anti-Gravity was replaced with the new Advanced skills area. You enter it from the old organ grinder gantry just before you exit onto the perimeter road or you can enter it from an informal ramp off the perimeter road. Ask the team to show you on your next visit.New signage and trail gantries will be installed in the near future. Safe riding.
