      Some great chunk and awesome rocks! Great line choice options and really awesome to have segments that rattle ya like a pinball - seriously love it! If you prefer flow, this is as far from it ;-)

      Wow this trail sucks. Its mostly flat with a bunch of large broken jagged rock strewn about.

      Fun trail, fairly different from most other trails in town or at Spirit. The rock is rough and broken up, so although the rock rolls are not super steep or long, they are not the smooth slab style you find at Piedmont or on Calculated Risk.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
