Blue Derby // FLICKITY STICKS
Booking a three shuttle package with Vertigo MTB sees you being dropped off at the trail head for Flickity Sticks, among others, but we sent this one every day! This run was also on our last day in Derby and I was running on fumes... still, stoke was high though.

How mountain biking helped save a tiny Tasmanian town
Five years ago the old tin-mining town of Derby was a ghost town. But a move to construct some mountain bike trails helped trigger an economic revival. The town is now booming and has been transformed into a world-class biking destination.
Blue Derby Tasmania: Black Stump - 23 stitches Full Run
I spent a day up at the Blue Derby trails in North East Tasmania a few weeks ago. It was a very wet day with a lot of rain falling the night before. Im riding these trails with one of my friends Terrence who is riding a 2006 Specialized Demo 7 downhill bike.
This is a full run of the Black Stump Upper and Lower onto 23 Stitches trails. It was my first run through these trails so i was being a bit cautious, though im not the best rider anyway!
We got a shuttle to the trail head from Vertigo MTB who are a Derby based business.
