El Hippo

SINGLE BLACK DIAMOND

El Hippo is our Lower Mountain trail, with a start above the old Dyfi Timber sawmill. At half the length of our full trails it’s the perfect track to warm up, warm down or for party laps with the mates! Once you’re up to speed you can ride El Hippo in two and a half minutes linking in with the bottom of 50 Hits jump line to shred the last few tables.

FEATURES

El Hippo packs a lot of punch in its shorter length. From super-fast berms, to big hip jumps to downhill style drops, technical rocks and roots and the Chute!
