The West Gate CollectionActually the North Shore but we couldn't possibly be so bloody Gauche and brazen to make the obvious comparison. Keep 16 foot high skinnies well away from this fat Kiwi rugby frame. Kiwis go splat remember.
Trails on the West Gate include:
·Lickety Split
·Rim job (yummy)- tight cambered corners. MADE for MTB.
·Filthy (our name sake and rightly so)
·SuperFreak (oh my god - did you say steep and nasty? this is one of our nastiest)
·Big Mac the Nose (long, railing corners at max speed and simply sublime) and runs into the NOSE. Wonderful fast furious finish to a great day out
·Butterfly (comes off Filthy). wonderful flow, some nice drops and jumps, Choice rocky sections to keep you rattled.
·Hummer (why thank you.)
These are quite probably the sexiest, yet nastiest, we have. Unfortunately, apart from Rimjob, quite well frequented by moving humanity dressed in the latest hiking dykin' fashions. Still - early mornings and from 5 pm onwards a great way to start and finish the day of dissent...oops descent.
Big Mac the Nose has a nasty, yet now doable, series of rock obs-tickles that used to have us squeaking. Luckily for any virgins that arrive on these Kimchi shores they also represent the start to the trails Filthy, Lickety Split and Butterfly as well. Hoo haha!
We can shuttle all the way up to a buddhist temple which gets us about 50 meters vertical from the West gate itself. Please don't fart, belch or use profanity near the temple itself though. You piglet you!
Long slightly complex shuttle option to pick up for. However those in the know have the the shuttle options sorted, and, if you come, I guess this is what you're paying for/playing for. All good.
