Blue Derby MTB - The EWS Trails - Kumma-Gutza, Trouty, Detonate, Shearpin

Here are clips of 4 iconic Enduro World Series trails from my recent trip to Blue Derby, Tasmania. All of these trails are in the Black Stump area of the trail network.

The EWS has been in Derby twice and on both occasions the trail of the year was awarded to the round. In 2017 Detonate took the crown and 2019 Kumma-Gutza came in first spot. The riders vote for their favourite stage. This says a lot about the quality of these iconic MTB trails.

Out of 4 Kumma-Gutza was probably my favourite. It has some great technical sections but also flow and high speed. This would have been closely followed by Trouty. Riding down those massive granite rock slabs with views of Derby in the distance was pretty special. Even the climb up to Trouty (which takes about 40mins to an hour) was beautiful.

I found Detonate and Shearpin kind of hard so enjoyed them less. I probably just suck.

I'd love to go back and actually scope some lines. Apart from Kumma-Gutza (which I rode twice) I only did one lap of each trail.

Hope you enjoy and get a chance to ride the trails yourself one day.
