      Really fun tech trail with a variety of features. This trail starts and ends with two technical rock slabs, I would recommend taking a look at them on your first run down, as you can get into trouble riding these blind

      There is no way this is a single black diamond. Need to be changed to double. If you cannot physically walk it then single black is out

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
