Who in your group rides what
Whether everyone in your group gets a day at Maydena Bike Park - the grades on offer, the named zones, and how mixed abilities split up.
Green / Blue / Black / Double-black / Pro line
Group split - beginners use Lower Mountain Uplift (per-run) + green trails or a Midline drop-off for easier greens/blues; intermediate-advanced take the full Summit Uplift and network incl. jump/skills parks; pro lines for experts; shuttle serves all, regroup at base or Midline
Broad - families/beginners to elite (built by Dirt Art for all levels)
The riding
Machine-built flow and hand-cut natural tech; rainforest loam, roots, rock
Flow/berms/jumps to steep rooty rocky rainforest tech, big drops and gap jumps; moderate-high exposure on upper wilderness trails
