Billy T is a classic in Rotorua. This bench mark Grade 4 has been around for years but has had the bottom rebuilt after the latest logging operation. As far as the grade goes, it has some good chunky roots that aren't too steep, it has speed, sections to get your flow on, and great features to double up. This is a top to bottom video following Christy down the trail.
I am riding a Zerode Katipo, the Zerode 29 inch, enduro bike. Check out the locally designed bikes at zerodebikes.com/

I love Billy T!! Good riding too, I feel like it’s a track that you have to be on your toes for, once I came down and did that drop to flat, never done it again 🤣

[@NewZealandMountainBiking]

Shhhhheeeeeshhhhh!!!

[@davedaman7876]

Nice trails and nice ride too. i'm wondering if I'm too old for this kind of trail ?

[@NewZealandMountainBiking]

This is a fairly standard grade 4. Check out the playlist of grade 3 trails and grade 4 trails to see what looks good for you. Age isn't really a factor it's more your level of skill and confidence.

@@NewZealandMountainBiking thanks heaps bro will look into it. Also best options for shuttle booking?

[@WilliamCronin]

wow. very dissapointed to see the "billy T' feature bike parked.

[@NewZealandMountainBiking]

That was definitely a classic feature eh! Yeah unfortunately for us the trees need to be harvested. Can't forget that this is private land that we get to enjoy and that the trails are run off of donations. Trails are always changing. Look up the Rotorua Trails Trust for more info

Yea, not just the drop and step, but whippy tight corners before the drop a and the fast section into the. tight dropping section after the step up. All massive parts gone. It is a sad day when they log.
