My partner and myself took the Blue run a couple of times this Sunday.Really enjoyed the route.Went round again faster on my full susser hitting the berms and small table tops,Really good fun.Will go again and attempt faster runs? What it could benefit from is some red route sections.Just a couple of features northshore ,rockgarden, drops and wooden structures.These could be placed along some of the existing route as an alternate skills area.I presume you would need volunteers to build these?
