DOWNHILL (DH)
The world-class Mountain Bike Track designer, Glen Jacobs, designed the Stromlo Forest Park Downhill course.
The course length is 2.2 kilometres with a start elevation of 765 metres. The spectacular course includes rock gardens, drop offs, jumps and sweeping berms.
Whilst this course has been designed to allow for beginner downhill mountain bike riders, the course will also challenge the best riders in the world’s best. This course should only be ridden by competent mountain bike riders.
The course consists of A, B, C lines. A-lines are the most difficult lines and include large steep shoots, large gap jumps and drop offs. The C-lines are all able to be rolled, however these are still challenging and should only be ridden by competent riders.
Confident MTB riders should only use the use of the DH and all users must remain on the designated tracks and paths provided. Spectators wishing to view the DH may do so however; it is recommended that you remain within the designated viewing points.
