Hurtwood Trails has been sharing progress updates on recent work across Supernova, including new jump features, reshaped sections for more flow and speed, and drainage improvements aimed at keeping the trail running well through winter.

Location: Supernova is in the Hurtwood area of Pitch Hill in the Surrey Hills, near Peaslake. The descent drops down into the Walking Bottom car park.

What’s changed on Supernova

Across several recent updates, the crew described “more flow, more speed”, and “an equally fun B-line to riders’ left or have made the jumps rollable if jumps aren’t your thing”. They also highlighted shaping work on the entrance berm and a sustained focus on drainage to help the trail hold up through winter.

In the same posts, Hurtwood Trails asked riders to be alert on the trail because changes have been made throughout: “eyes up, look before you leap”.

What riders are saying

Replies on the posts include thanks and quick ride reports, with comments like: “Great additions. Thanks for putting in the work. Much appreciated.” and “Brilliant work guys! Running tip top 🙌”

What we don’t know

Where the next piece of work will be focused, and what’s coming next on the ground.
