Stromlo beginner DH

Recently I've been riding the start of the Western Wedgetail down to thefire road and then joining Skyline, then onto the "berm track". It'sgood fun, so I'm looking for something similar, maybe a bit more challenging buteasier than the proper DH track. Apparently Western Wedgetail is the start of the beginner DH track, butthere's another section with some jumps and stuff - can someone describehow to get there?See More
