There are four Downhill tracks in total. Each is numbered according to technical difficulty starting from track 1. They take about 40 seconds each to ride for beginners and around 20 seconds each to nail for experienced riders. There is also a Dirt Jump area (with tabletops).
Bottom Tracks
- Track 1 is fast, flat and flowy. All jumps have a run-around.
- Track 2 is fast, flat and more technical. Most jumps have a run-around (this may be quite off-line). It divides partway into two separate sections that rejoin.
Track 1 can be linked across into track 2 via the mini double after the hip jump where it splits, into an entrance to the right of the main entrance of track 2. There is intentionally no berm where you turn into track 2.
Top (Steep) Tracks
- Track 3 is very steep and has 1 drop off with steep switchbacks and off-camber ground.
- Track 4 (Death) is very steep, technically challenging, with various drops into corners and off camber sections.
Dirt Jumps
- The Dirt Jump area has 4 lines including tabeltops.
