DH 3, a black diamond, has the notorious pirate log plank that will test both your courage and balance.
Mountain Biking Severe
This is a popular mountain biking route which is generally considered to be severe. It's not remote, it features high exposure and is typically done all year round. From a low point of 336 m to the maximum altitude of 434 m, the route covers 1.4 km, 7 vertical metres of ascent and 106 vertical metres of descent.
DH 3 is pretty technical with big air jumps and big gaps, but the highlight of this run is the log drop (see picture). It is a fast, super fun trail.
Severe
Widely variable, narrow trail tread with steeper grades and unavoidable obstacles of 15in/38cm tall or less. Obstacles may include unavoidable bridges 24in/61cm wide or less, large rocks, gravel, difficult root sections, and more. Ideal for advanced-level riders.
Some trail sections have exposed ledges or steep ascents/descents where falling could cause serious injury.
Close to help in case of emergency.
