Glad to see it’s not just me that is 50/50 on the two shutes 😂 rode it last week when a bit wet and the 1st rock garden got me 🙈
Wow looks awesome but way above my paygrade. Hilarious hearing the relief in your voice after that section at 1:15. Great footage.
Thanks, Troy. It's a pretty stressful track, especially riding it blind like I was in this video.
5:07 I love how you just start laughing! 😂
Damn that looks difficult! Nice work!
Thanks! Definitely one of the more challenging trails I've ridden.
Great to see a vid of Morepork. Confirms my thinking that I wont be touching that trail haha. Intense trail huh?
It's pretty full on!
So much of this run looks fantastic to less than G6 riders... When Trailbiking for many years, events often had A-Loops on the main track, Or a B-loop round a hard section...
Some of these tracks could do with that to open them up to more riders...
Vertigo is a great example. For the sake of 1, maybe 2 B-Loops a lot more riders could enjoy it... Even now if like me, your prepared to walk a couple of features, you can...
If I was a little more fit, I would definitely add this to a Must do.. even if I walk the chutes... (I plan to at least walk Yeah Gnah... and ride what I can... which I fear will be the exit and a couple of the traverse links...
That's a good point, a lot of Morepork is G4 and G5, just with a couple of nasty chutes and drops. It would definitely be worth riding with the intention of walking the harder sections. Yeah Gnar is a different story though, every feature is a big commitment and some of them would be plain dangerous to try walk with a bike.
@@TrailAtlas ... which is why I haven't even walked it without a bike... Sigh.
I did find a piece at the top of Mr-X which I cleared allowing a G4-5 rider to rid most-all of Deliverance without walking anything.
I can ride the main entry to Deliverance (poorly) but prefer the length of MR-X.
Th pig-tail at the start of the valley floor section is probably the only g5 feature in the whole valley base but the entry stops most riders of seeing one of the most unique rides in the city.
How does it compare to Pavlova? Can you walk sections of the track?
Pavlova has a greater number of difficult features. Morepork has two chutes that are pretty gnarly and the rest is very manageable.
How do you know where you going?? No marking at all on the trail- you definitely legend mate doing this. I turned back trying to do trickle falls at Makara NO WAYS am doing this 😆
There were a few moments where I wasn't quite sure where to go, I'm sure you can spot the moments of hesitation in the video. Haha cheers, it's certainly not something I'd ride regularly, but it's nice to push the limits a bit when G5 trails start feeling a little tame.
Wanna hit this again? :D
My Ribs are just just about up for another beating.
You actually hit that massive drop at the end 😲 Would you say this is the hardest trail in Wellington?
I haven't ridden all the G6 trails in Welly (still Yeah Gnar & K-hole to go). I'd say it's relatively on-par with Toppa Toppa. It's really just those two big chutes that are the hardest sections, the rest isn't too bad.
Lucky you survived but not sure why would anyone do this trail, didn’t seem like to be an enjoyable ride as , it’s stressful and painful, quite steep and rooty as well.
The stack didn't look too bad, but I was off the bike for almost a month. I suppose people ride it to push themselves, and it's always worse riding it the first time like I was in this video. Once you know what to expect and which lines to take it's a lot more fun!
This trail was built for better riders who enjoy it very much.
