duanelr Posted November 29, 2019 Share Apparently it's the guys from DirtLAB that are behind it. I cannot wait to go ride there. From the vids i've seen and the features they promise it's going to be good. And so close to my house. Just read the FB page and check the insta posts for answers to your questions nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enduro newbie Posted July 4, 2020 Share Can confirm they are open. The place was build by Dirtlab, was seriously well thought out and the riding is top notch. The trails were a bit neglected during lockdown but from what I have heard its getting sorted and the trail crew will be doing maintenance on the trails in the coming weeks. I know tons of people that ride out into that direction, marathon riders, so I think its a good place to learn some extra skills as opposed to a dirt road. Also has a super good jumpline for the jumpers, big tabletop jumps and a really good ender, the road gap. Also has a massive skills area, drops, bumps, berms and flow lines. Its pretty cool. It doesn't have the vertical assent of Wolwespruit, if climbs are your thing, but honestly the trails will actually teach you some skills. So go ride it.
