      Cracker of a descent - it's got the lot - rocks, roots, steep off camber sections and even a couple of punchy climbs, so put that dropper post to good use. Best bits are the sandy chute before the burn crossing and the steep rock roll on a corner about halfway down.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
