Decent Number 4: Tom's Bomb Hole.

This really steep pitt has five entrances and exits of varying difficulty. There are extreamly difficult decants with obstacles to avoid and easy descents that can be ridden by virtually any one. The bad aspects of this pitt is that it is extremely sandy which makes exiting and cornering extremely difficult in some places.

I award this pitt:

Decent Number 3: The Skip.






















This steep pit has a steep descent and ascent. This pit is quite challenging as on the back bone of the pit there is a small gap to fit you tyre in if you don't get it exactly right you fall back over you bike and down the pit. As the same as every out he pit it has a bypass route if you don't wish to go down the Skip. the only negative thing about the skip is that it gets ver muddy at the bottem which intern makes it harder to carry your speed on to the backbone. 

I award this pitt: 

Decent Number 2: The Bracken pit .




This pit has a steep decent and accent it has only one entrance and exit which makes it easy for bigness to learn on. It is also very good if you are looking to complete the black run as fast as possible as it increases your speed instead of slowing you down.there is also a bypass route you can take if you don't feel quite the enthusiast. the only bad thing about this pit is after a few runs it can get a bit boring.

Decent Number 1: The Tent Peg.
















This pitt has three entrances and two exits so you have to keep your wits about you. It is the shallowist pit on the black but is still one of the best to get some wicked air. on one of the exits it has a steep ramp that always saves up air even if you don't want it. this pit is great  whether you want to get some big air you want to power through as there is a second exit which is perfect for if you want to take the fast (safe) way down this pit. The only slight negative aspect is that it is very sandy on the landing of the exit ramp this is great for if you come off but off you want to turn quickly into the course you simply don't get any where and fall off.

I award this pitt:

The Black Run

This technically challenging route combines steep descents, berms, turns, jumps and much more....
The Black run has 6 steep pits including the beast and howe's run. These pits are very technically difficult and require a lot of skill but can be bypassed if you are looking for the easy or faster way round the black run. The estimated time to complete the black run is 1hr 20 but we belive that a good cyclist can active it in less than an hour (with no breaks). But we at The White MTBike have managed to do the black run in under 40. the black run in total is 10 miles and is not recommended for people 15 and under. Over the next few blogs we will be reviewing the BIG 6 decants on the black run.
