Grade 3 built by James Dodds and RMTBC - opened October 2008. 4KM

Starting to the right of Little Red Riding Huck, on Hill Rd, the Corners trail drops to the shuttle pick up via almost 4 kms of twisting Grade 3 goodness. Many big berms connect a flowing series of traverses that make a big hill last much longer than you would expect.
Built by James Dodds and helpers, Corners is a trail anybody can ride.

RIDERS COMMENTS:
I think this is a little harsh. What the trails have been needing is a long downhill for those who aren't so hard-core - families, kids etc who can just get thru Billy T but could really do with something more downhilly and grade-3ish without the more challenging parts of the Hucks. A new trail is a good trail! Have just checked out woodhill for the first time in a year and Whaka still kicks ass.

Love it, boardering awesome..suits my style being not a gravity rider but a bit of a grind in parts, some interesting switchbacks, a great warm-up track and a great end of the day track to have a final blast on. Well done Dodzy!!

On the other hand, you can get to this trail from the end of Billy T via a short climb to Huckleberry, and then into old chevy/yellow brick/Pondy New/menu. Which is a great XC loop.

I'd agree with gaz. Will be awesome with signs up so you know you know which bits to head down so you don't end u on the jumps track. The berms are mint though

Great trail. I agree with Jonathan-this is a trail that a lot of people will be able to do without risking life and limb and it is still fun for the more experienced.

Well done Dodzy and crew.

my favorite trail ive ever ridden in vegas. Im glad that finally someone has realized that not everyone wants to huck and muscle themselves through a trail, and has answered by putting in this awesome track. Fast flowing singletrack. perfect.

There are few other trials in the woods that require you to work your bike as much as this trail - it is mentally and physically stimulating. I like that it isn't too 'hectic' in a downhill sense and it's true that anyone can ride it but does require good skills really flow down this trial. I loved it and it was a great reward for the climb up to the start.

Awesome trail not one rider Ive spoken too has'nt loved it.Cant wait till one of the great trail builders fills in the gap fm Tawa/Moerangi cnr to Hill rd

This is a great trail to ride at any time -- wonderful for practicing flow and keeping a line through the corners -- but once you try it as a night ride you'll want to do it again and again. It's a complete blast!

Excellent trail, well worth the ride up the hill. The kids really enjoyed it.

Is this the best trail in the forest? After a week of riding on an all-mountain style trail bike i think so!

Mushroomspotting March 2010 - Scleroderma bovista, early fruiting species - this is the round puffball, pops out in the corners mainly at the top of the trail at the moment. Non-edible...
