Afterburner Map

Afterburner has been transformed by local trail builders into an expert trail suitable for competent riders. The trailhead starts with a small rock roller to give riders an initial test of what's to come. It then directs you over some rocky sections into some impressively built berms, corners which will help maintain your trail speed. After the trail dips into the forest with a few table top jumps followed by a short steep rooty sections back into the open. The final section is smooth and flowing with opportunities to roll or jump the many table tops.
