Jason:
Hamsterley has a great variety of well maintained trails. Good progression too now that the blue Squirrel Chaser is up and running.
What do you like?
The Transmission - Accelerator - Nitrous combo
What could be improved?
K-line jumps could flow better. Signage is OK but could be better, especially for first-timers.
Would you recommend?
yes
