Yeah its 50ft or so... Last time I was there a guy on a 125 tried to clear it in 2nd

... He came up short and barely cleared the gorse. So far I have only seen 2 people land it, and 4 people attempt. Its bloody good fun.

Yeah it get real slippery, just ask mattwood ahaha. Might be allright if you have a good tyre, I dont know, i never do lol.
If your there sunday ill prob turn up, just down the road from me

Yeah i feel your pain... Its worth it though (the pictures were from before I got my YZ).

Most of the track drys out pretty quick and becomes tacky. The long 5th gear straight takes prob a week to dry out as its shaded, and people tend to miss the turn at the end and go straight off the track into the bushes. But that just keeps it interesting. Waaaay better track than these perfectly groomed poofter tracks like Ardmore or Slater. Whatawhata is steep, rutted and has decent jumps. Great track for fitness.

Really need someone with a Helmet Cam to come out, all my pictures dont really show much

Track looks good i havnt been since febuary or march thought it would have been to wet, also i have probobly only done 10 hours of riding since then. Jump looks good

Keen to hit that come summer time.

I've had a few friends who've gone out there & all say it was great, if a little slippery when wet. I have to make it a mission to try it out because it's so close for me in Ngaruawahia, just up the road.
And $10... who could whinge at that???
