Love stainburn, been riding there since I was 9 and have moved to dirt jumping. Would it not be possible to put some jumps in the middle of the boulder track and the red descent?

Stainburn is short, but the new red descent is incredibly addistive and long enough to make you ache. Don't miss the stuff over the road either. Several miles of natural trail, you need to be fit but you get out of stainburn what you put in. Don't let the technical scare you!

Great technical tests - good for either a (very) short ride or for doing over and over until you get it perfect!
