Saw this nice little video on here a couple of days ago:

It all looks quite easy flowing singletrack. Everything else I've heard about it suggests a gnarley downhill rockfest.

So which is it?!

Cheers!

That does make it look a lot easier than it is. It's not a "gnarly downhill rockfest", because there's a shitload of gnarly uphill rockfest too.

A lot of the flowier stuff (the first section of the vid) is the red route. The rest of the time the riders aren't going much above a fast walk/jog, which might suggest it's a lot harder than it looks.

Only been there once. A couple of laps knackered me, although I cleared everything.(not in one go). Cracking fun.

edit - oh and it's absolutely bone dry in that vid too. Be a whole different kettle of fish in the wet.

I'd say most consider the black pretty technical, the other bit (red?) much less so. Can't see your vid.
