A steady climb up to the Big Skid site offers spectacular views over Tasman Bay, and at the top, you can choose from many descending trails, including Bermed Monster, Kamikaze and Slippery Rail. The tracks can be pretty slippery in the rain, so riding in the Richmond Hills is not recommended under wet conditions.
How to get there: The trails are accessed from Easeby Park in the Dellside Reserve, just off Marlborough Crescent in Richmond. Cross the bridge and follow the grass to the 4WD road until you see the signposts.
