      Great trail with awesome jumps and crazy features. But the reason this trail isn’t as popular as other trails at derby is because getting up there is a hassle. Risking your life on black stump lower is dumb and murdering your legs by climbing great race is annoying. I beg you please build an easier way.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
