In this video me and Mikey dissect lines and features on Live Wires at Mākara Peak Mountain Bike Park. This is a rustic trail with many features only found on the late 90's/early 00's singletrack in Wellington. It is an advanced (Grade 4) trail with a lengthy expert (Grade 5) line which is optional. Recently the Mākara Peak Supporters and Volunteers have been introducing some new 'flowy' features. Personally I believe that this track should be left untouched as a priceless piece of technical art, although that's just my opinion. This track is similar in style to trails like Vertigo (also at Mākara Peak MTB Park) and Deliverance (Wrights Hill). This track has many features including drops, rocks, off-camber, roots, jumps, ruts, a wooden rolldown, berms, rock faces and a step-up. The trail starts at the Skills Area and ends towards the end of Lazy Fern (where SWIGG joins).
EDIT: The Mākara Peak Supporters have build a new feature on the track which is actually really good, it's a shark-fin jump that takes place just after the bus stop. Here's some photos of it:
