    It may not help much,but they are just round the corner from the main skills area,next to them is a little skills area which has a sea-saw,and balance beams.

    Ive only been the once,but from what i remember,if you follow the main route from the car park,you should get there :roll:

    If anyone needs a map it can be downloaded from here.
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

  • Those are just at the left hand side after the skinny logs section. It has its own little path up to the top of it. The drops aren't actually as big as they look. And the faster you can do them the easier they are.

    Theres another series of drops in a single run which I want to find if anyone knows where to find them

    "Fungus The Muffin Man" Theres another series of drops in a single run which I want to find if anyone knows where to find them.

    The ones your reffering too are a set of 3 slab steps which is part of the black run.

    Head up the big big hill turn left up the second hill and as you reach the crest go left and round the side of a hill which curves up follow this round bear right and hit the steep drop in (black) or go round it.

    keep following the trail you will eventually come to a small incline with a left hand bend, directly in front of you (top of incline) is a red run which starts as a berm which turns down to (left) the 3 slab steps or (right) a red run leading you back up a step incline which eventually take you on to the table tops at the skill section. Make any sense?

    Oh and on these hit them to the right as when you come off the 3rd it pushes you to the left

    there is also slab drop, i dunno if thats its name, but that what i called it. its a short, but fairly steep drop, which doesn't curve too much at the bottom. i've snapped spokes on my old HT on slab drop. its cool
