Name Doesn't Match The Trail! | Sketchy Grade 3 Follow-Cam Preview | Riverhead MTB POV

🚲 Following a mate down Sketchy at Riverhead Forest—a Grade 3 trail that starts right next to Not Forgotten! Despite the name, this trail isn't sketchy in the slightest. In fact, it's pretty clunky! You're constantly dodging tight trees and zig-zagging through slow turns, making it super difficult to hold any real flow or momentum. If you're looking for a genuinely fun run in this area, you're much better off dropping into Not Forgotten instead. Safe to say this is probably a one-and-done for us! Here is the full, raw, uncut follow-cam point-of-view (POV) preview so you can see how Sketchy rides and decide if it's worth adding to your Riverhead loop. 🚴‍♂️💨 ❓ Let me know in the comments: Have you ridden Sketchy, or do you always skip it for Not Forgotten? 📊 Trail Rating for Average Riders: • 🛠️ Tech Level: Grade 3 – Easy gradient, but tight tree clearances and awkward zig-zag turns test your slow-speed bar management. • 🚴 Physical Effort: Moderate – Constant pedaling required out of tight turns since carrying momentum is nearly impossible. • ⚠️️ Feature Alert: Tight Tree Gaps! Watch your handlebar width through the narrow tree squeezes—easy to catch a bar end if you come in too wide. --- 🤙 About boringMTBer: Just an average rider sharing realistic, uncut trail previews across New Zealand.
