yeah, pretty sure Pat would be fine with that, its just a donation kind of track, no open hours etc. Bit of a long haul from Auckland though isnt it?

what sort of terrain is it there?? are there some decent jumps like kimmys or is there only a couple, with heaps of straights and corners. cheers.

well iv shown the best i can in the pics... the jumps are bigger than they appear in the pics. its clay.

one straight, one drop, couple tabletops, couple step ups, one jump over a ditch, an off camber bit which has caught a few people out so far, bermed corners...

put it this way... in my opinion its worth the trip out from ngaras.

haha my mate threw his kx off there... snapped plastics and bars haha... gotta love the downhill drop. do you do the little jump over the track after the drop?

Went for a spin there today with CR125NZ and Dafydd Roberts - really enjoyed it, couple of gnarly little uphills
and heaps of cool little jumps!Some off cambers which I found a bit different just after a shower. There is one cool jump on a downhill just before a left hand bend which is tricky -the jump is all good but not much time for braking before the corner!My brakes dont work too good in the air lol- But I loved it all and will be returning soon.The owner Pat is a hearty fellow and has a really nice attitude. Good spot - cheers honda_power for letting us know.

I noticed this morning some fucker has pinched the tyre off the fence on the main road again.. So just look for the stonewood homes sign. Thinking about hitting it monday, see yaz out there.

Sorry but were is this 60-80 footer? looked through the pix but cant see it?

Nah mate as i said in a previous post if it was a tabletop it would be big, but it is a step up so its probably only 35-40ft, ya land at the top of your arc so i was just estimating the distance if it was a jump on flat ground, i hit it in 3rd or 4th on the 450 and land right up the hill, hitting it harder than i hit a 60ft jump at another track i ride. Come and see for your self man its great fun!! The pic's don't do the steepness of the hill any justice, ya can't really hit this jump too hard, well maybe ya can, i will try this weekend

Thanks for clearing that up mate
