Our track difficulty rating system helps you choose tracks that match your riding ability and experience level. Understanding these ratings is crucial for your safety and enjoyment.

Difficulty Levels

We use a four-tier system to rate track difficulty:

  • Beginner: Flat terrain, wide tracks, small jumps - suitable for new riders and kids learning basics
  • Intermediate: Some elevation, moderate jumps, technical sections - for riders comfortable with basics
  • Advanced: Steep hills, large jumps, challenging obstacles - for experienced riders confident with jumping
  • Expert: Extreme terrain, massive jumps, professional level - for professional/semi-pro riders only

Never attempt tracks above your skill level. Progression should be gradual and safe.

Additional Factors

Track difficulty can also be affected by:

  • Weather conditions (wet tracks are more challenging)
  • Track maintenance and condition
  • Time of day and visibility
  • Crowd levels and traffic
  • Your bike type and setup
