Thredbo’s signature trail, descending 600m vertically through the tree-lined Supertrail slopes. Cannonball tests riders with off-camber roots, rock drops, jumps, wall-ride and other technical features that the gravity specialists dream about.

Hi Rob, did you enjoy it? Did you rent a Kona Stab or use your own XC?

Hired a full on DH rig from the guys at Thredbo (don't recall what this was though - maybe Cuppas or Ditty can remember?) and fitted my XC clipless pedals. Lots of fun, but not being used to it had pretty severe arm pump by the end of the day.

While we were there I also rode up to Merritts and then down the second half of the DH track on my Rush. Clearly it's not uber technical if you can do it on a XC bike Eye-wink
