Trail 3Trail name- Juggernaut
Distance- 10km Surface- Natural Difficulty- Blue Square/intermediate Overview- Featuring over 6km of all out descending, and a further 4km of gradually descending this trail is already being hailed as one of Australia's best. With the ability to shuttle to the summit (self-shuttles at this stage), this trail provides a unique all-mountain (so enduro!) experience featuring a relentless mix of natural rock technicality and tyre-rolling berms and flow. From open rocky peaks offering stunning vistas, through to brooding, dark forests, Juggernaut is a journey through multiple unique Tasmanian forest types and terrain. PS. This is harder than you think! It's not just a roll down a hill..... words by Dirt Art Shuttle - Yes - see Hollybank Shuttles page Map and directions to Juggernaut Trail Head |

Trail name- Ginger Ridge
Distance - 1km Surface - Natural Difficulty- Double Black Diamond/Extreme Overview- Ginger Ridge is an existing trail that we have given a little love. Built some years ago by local Rob Potter the trail is a frenzy of steep rock chutes, drops and turns. Suitable only for advanced riders this hand-built trail offers a truly challenging descent suitable for all mountain and downhill riders. The trail connects back onto Juggernaut via a 2km commute, or may be shuttle independently using Juggernaut as a lead-in from the summit with a pick up at the trails end. words by Dirt Art |

Trail name - Reverb
Distance- 0.3km Surface- Natural rock slabs Difficulty- Double Black Diamond/Extreme Overview - Reverb is not for the faint hearted, offering arguably the most challenging descent at Holybank. The short link provides an alternative diversion from Juggernaut, suitable only for highly advanced riders. This steep trail is littered with unavoidable drops and very steep rock chutes. For those with the requisite skill and commitment, this is one seriously fun trail! words by Dirt Art Maps of Hollybank and shuttle routeTassieTrail.org track notes on Hollybank |
