Planning lower Starfish improvements

Recognise these corners? The Mākara Peak tracks crew have been out last scoping improvements to the OG (bottom) section of Starfish.

We’re going to work on the ‘flow’ so there’s less skidding into corners and add some rad new grade 4 features and lines. Think more drops, a wall ride, bigger & better berms that don’t stop mid corner!

Sunday afternoon digs will be starting up again this weekend. 3pm-5pm followed by BBQ and beers. Ride down Starfish to the dig site.

When the trail was built around 22 years ago, the pine forest was clear-felled and this was a barren hillside - look at this amazing native bush now!
