      This trail needs major work, the ruts on the landings are rim deep in some places and a lot of the run ins are so rough it can be hard to keep speed up. I get the dirt sucks here, which is why we have infinite black tech trails, but it would be nice to have one smooth jump line.

      Great condition after the rebuild. New berms and switch backs are fun and fast. Jumps are very flowy and some jumps changed but most is the same but maintained.
