Turns in the Ferns expands our offering with a red-graded, lower mountain track. Ideal for shorter laps to ease you into the day or ease down after a hard afternoon’s riding, especially when the winter weather at the top of the mountain gets wild!

FEATURES

One kilometre of some of the fastest and most fun sections in the Park, with berms, fades, shark-fins and a lot of fun crammed into its short length with the added bonus of re-joining 50 Hits for the bottom section!

ELEVATION

"It's short but it’s sick!! My favourite bit is the tight left-hander at the bottom, you can go in super-fast and the steep berm will make you feel like you’re turning on a 20 pence piece!"

Charlie Hatton

"The turns in the ferns are the most picturesque and satisfying turns I have ever ridden, the view is unreal!"

Feature

Turns in the Ferns

Put in a couple of pedal strokes off the start to set you up for these for these swooping berms. The turns are tight but you’ll find plenty of flow as you thread your way between the oaks.

Feature

Twin Fade

Out of the turns into one of the fastest sections on the bike park, two fades over two blind rises will make you feel like you’re floating above the ground - hold it down hard and ease off the brakes!

Feature

Shark Fins

After the fades hit a shark fin to the right, shark fin to the left then tuck into a long and fast left-hander. This is an amazing section to practise building your speed.

Feature

Tight Woods

As you enter the woods the track changes from mainly machine built to handcrafted by the shovels and picks of our dig crew. A few natural rocks and roots change the pace and add some technicality to the trail.

Feature

Decisions Decisions

Stay on the main trail for an easier route or opt-in to a big technical drop that will set you up with plenty of speed for the next awesome left-hander.

Feature

Jack-Knife

Smash into this steep berm and trust that it will carry you around the turn for a super-fast finale to our red track before you re-join 50 Hits for another 90 seconds of fun.
