From here, Hangman 1 leads down into the valley on wooden ladders and root fields. There are some wooden stunts on the descent, which are actually well dimensioned, but are sometimes challenging. To warm up, or for families, Hangman 2 is the better choice, which leads down into the valley from the middle station. However, most people choose the centrepiece and crowd favourite: the Flying Gangster. 480 metres in altitude - tables, wallrides, drops, gaps and wooden berms delight park freeriders and get the endorphins flowing. Annoying: the braking grooves in the berms in the lower section. The Bongo Bongo branches off at the halfway point. A forest trail that requires skill on wooden ladders - quite nice! Downhillers will be delighted with the downhill World Cup trail, which is sometimes angry but also pedalling-heavy. Great: the stunt park at the valley station with drop batteries, table lines, airbags and other gimmicks.
