All you need is your bike of choice! A longer travel one is highly recommended, but not essential. Ride, walk or we can shuttle you to the top for the thrill of your life!
Mount Borah is located 45km west of Tamworth near the sleepy town of Manilla. Mount Borah is where the 2007 World Paragliding Championships were held. So you know your in for a time when you start your ride.
You will descend from 900 metres down to 450 metres over 3.5km with a track filled with natural rock gardens, drop-offs, gap jumps, doubles, off camber and of course, “Wallaby’s Chute”…..
Chris Kovarik and Nathan Rennie recently held a Skills Clinic out at Mount Borah. Chris said “The track is fast, flowy and full of natural obstacles which is what we tend to favour coming from our world cup DH racing backgrounds” He went on to say “The track starts off on a gentle slope but then quickly becomes more gravity fed, high speed, with rock shelves, step downs some sandy switch backs, a tricky rock garden chute, and some big jumps towards the bottom”.
This Gravity Enduro will test all your skills – a blend of gravity, endurance, as well as downhill and cross-country!
There will be A & B lines available right down the course, except down “Wallaby’s Chute” This is a gnarly rock drop that will thrill the pant’s off any rider. You can choose to dismount this part of the track. If not, Get off the back of the seat…. way back!
