So great to hear you loving our new trail mate. So cool the Grade 5 vision is taking place. Hope to see you along next winter helping create the next one!
It is pretty burly aye. I filmed this when the trail was very new. I rode it 3 weeks ago and i noticed it has changed quite a bit in a short space of time…….and I crashed and fractured a rib 😂
@@thesingletracksurfer oh bugger! Hope ya coming right. Ribs are painful injuries. Sleeping/breathing/ moving... Not fun. Any particular section you crashed? Was riding with a mate and scoping that last near vertical drop......thinking. it'd be a struggle to get out of there with any decent injury.
Pav is definatly closer to G6 imo. Dig this and Double Happy are good solid G5, again this is just imo. I think as it lies now this one is probably the easier of the 3 but it will defiantly change over the course of time
@@Thelocalnewzealandmtb as one of the builders we feel it is a Grade 5. Even though it has a few steep sections what comes after them makes them more than manageable for competent Grade 5 riders. Particularly once you have stopped to look at the best lines through those sections.
Objective opinion here from a semi-regular visitor to WTP: This track is way more janky and awkward than Pav or Dig. It’s not more difficult as such, but it’s definitely harder to get flow due the super tightness. So while Pav and Dig have bigger and more committing features, this is a test of skill in a different way. A short bike with narrow handlebars and steepish head tube angle is optimal over ‘modern’ geometry

I would love to be apart of it mate. Such an amazing vision you guys have put in to action so far, can’t wait to see what’s next
This looks like an awesome trail! Love that off-camber and the technical steeps.
Rode this tonight. Jeez you made it look a lot easier than it was...

I miss my backyard park. Moved to South Island, great to see you exploring new tracks.
The mainland can’t be to shabby for trails tho surely?😂 Wainui is taking the reins big time in the G5 build game now
Nice Buddy, thanks for showing!
You gotta get back here and hit this one mate 👍
@@thesingletracksurfer Will do! Cheers!
Hooolllyyy gopro effecttt
(Context-) just rode (more like walked) it and damn its not a g5 its a g6 its wayy to steep to be a g5
Yea it looks alot flatter on screen aye 😬
It will go more G6 once its been ridden alot more imo kinda like Pav did.
IMO even pro line if it gets rutted or triple black
Looks like a death grip ride
Haha yep its pretty white knuckle stuff for the first time down it 😂
What’s it like compared to Pavlova and dig this? Is it closer to a “grade 6”like pavlova and dig this are?

In a year or so it's going to be a very challenging trail.
Double happy is should be g6 its steep sections

It’s not on Trailforks 🤔
Na not yet aye. It’s in the G5 hub in between Dig This and Pav
