So fun, tight tech with lots of Rock rolls
rowanenglund
Pretty cool trail if you like old school tech. Very tight and narrow with steep rocky corners and some cool slabs. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for a smooth ride.

3 Knobbs might be in my top 5 XC trails as far as technical difficulty goes. Super fun and very tough, tight, scary, twisty, pivoty, punchy, hoppy. One of my new favorite trails. I rode it twice in a row and dabbed at the same spot but cleaned it otherwise. Rad trail that I could only recommend to the XC/trials crowd.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
