Giba Freeride course being revamped

Tim Keep from Pure Adventure Wear has been reworking the Freeride course at Giba Gorge…
From Tim:
With summer rolling in, the Pure Adventure Wear Freeride Trail at Giba Gorge is receiving a bit of a make over: with upgrades to the existing trail and a couple of new lines being worked on.

The see-saw at the end of the north-shore laddering has been replaced with a launch. The see-saw is being moved to run as an alternative line off the laddering for those who are not quite ready to launch themselves into mid-air.
There will also be a new line that will run off the existing trail. This new line will incorporate a couple of rock-drops with more laddering and a new exit back onto the 3 Bridges Trail.
A whole new run in to the trail has already been built, with a narrow ladder bridge over a sink-hole to get you into the ‘zone’. The new entrance starts 50 metres earlier and still runs off the existing ‘Main Line’ trail. Just look out for the big Pure Adventure Wear board at the new entrance.

I rode the new run in the other day and it is really good. The skinny ladder is nice but just scary enough to not want to fall off and the drop requires no hesitation but is great fun.
Great work.
