Starts with some tight switchbacks and then goes into a great flow section. Then gets a little bit steep and techy and the end section is just very flowy berms with a mini rock drop.

      I wouldn't rate this as a Red. It's more like a more natural feeling ever so slightly harder blue than some of the others at FOD. It is however short but sweet.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
