This track has been here for a long time. It's had some changes over that time such as course alterations and jumps added. It has some very rough sections that typify parts of Nerang National Park. The lower part near Casurina has a jump section with a couple of doubles that catch a lot of riders unaware. Take care on the trail, but it is a lot of fun when all jumps are made.
*NTCA has realigned the exit to avoid conflict with uphill riders on Casurina. Trail now merges with Comm Games loop. *

Running amazing, not to dry, not to dusty, and the final jumps and berms at the bottom have been fixed and are running better than ever.

The bottom section berms just got redone, as well as the 2 drops at the very end, with the rut that formed there now gone
