Bit of an update for the Parahiaki trails Ressurection is haveing some reconstruction done so the track is changing a bit be aware, the Motorway is not fully finished but its ridable, just some of the loose clay has been washed out due to drainage not being finished be aware.. rollercoaster is pretty good just be aware of the tree in the way of the drop , i will get this fixed asap.... tunas tail, i rode it last weekend someone has cut big holes in the berms to drain the water , these will get covered up soon, the track itself is very good thou.. Upper taniwha is a mess due to the exit being covered in crap from the recent looging we ahev left this section alone and the gorse is springing up again , hope to get onto this in the next couple of months.. all trails are wet wet wet but just be aware..... have a good ride :thumbsup:

The Black track is in the process of being re-opened...the last time it was ridden was before the logging happened... over the next month we will hope to have a full track from the tank to the jumps and around and hopefully down the hill... The track wil be full of lines and jumps , a few drops and stuff just to make it all interesting
:thumbsup: :D

Over the next month or so < The Motorway will be out of action, the rest of the construction will be getting underway end of this week and the start of the next, so the trail will be unridable.. Check the "Whangarei Build Thread" for follow up information.. :)

Ressurection is open again and ridable, nice and clear and the spray should be coming into effect by the end of the week or so... Nice :)

Tuna's Tail now has a Rock Garden, there is a bypass line being built.. Be Aware..this trail is by far the best track at the moment when linked with Roller Coaster

Resurrection.. Has been cleared and is looking very nice, a bit of debris on the track but this will get cleared soon

Motorway.. The jumps up the top have changed to a set of 3 ..(1 after the other) a Table line is available all the way thru and the gap line is close to being finished, the berm section is requiring some work but other than that the trail is in good condition

Upper Taniwha.. This has been cleared but may have overhanging gorse, the Exit is sketchy and this will be sorted at some stage..

Lower Taniwha.. This trail is wet but mostly clear.. again some overhanging gorse is around

Black Track II.... this trail is 1/4 built but ridable, several lines available with an assortment of jumps.. waiting on getting the exit of the trail to be built..

R2.. is in the process of being cleared at the moment, hoping to get the PD guys in there to continue the assault and get it sprayed before summer..

Roller Coaster.. clear and fixed at the bottom bridge.. less slush and the jumps are in good form the drop thru the trees is mint and both lines giving good speed at the moment, the table at the exit is longer now, and the Seesaw is broken, we will be fixing this as soon as we can

Vendetta.. Work has been done towards the top to make the trail more enjoyable, the lower half is as rough as guts but good for the big bikes..!

:thumbsup: Happy Riding..
