A fast new school trail that features technical rock features connected by fast flowing berms and occasional optional jumps. There are two access points, the first off the Microwave Tower access road, about 10 minutes of climbing from the valley trail. To access the short upper part, ride the first portion of It's Business Time, and just after the lookout bench watch for a left hand fork to drop into AMPM.

Bikes - downhill travel only please

        I can't think of a single hard blue/easy black that worca have built in the last few years. Chipmunk trails, dessert platter trails, hot dog, cut above, all of the new cheakamus trails... None of those hard blue or easy black.

        Warning: if you are one of the many blue-black riders who enjoyed riding this trail (especially in combination with After Hours), you may now want to stay away, as WORCA has decided to remove two ride-arounds on difficult features, leaving the trail's difficulty solidly in the single black category. I am sure that you will still be able to walk around the features on the side of the trail and that riders will create their own organic ride-around braids soon as they continue to ride this trail, but just be warned for now that this beloved trail is apparently no longer meant for you, and that the people who ride the main line need to be prioritized Smile

        Best trail!!! Good technical bits with easy work arounds. Would highly recommend. Flatter and flowy near the bottom. Good for intermediate rider.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
