Great trail. Newly built. Fast flowy. Not to be missed
goldsbar
Perhaps the best downhill in the park. Ride clockwise and put in some pedal power on the flats. Couple of interesting optional rock rolls at the top. Otherwise as close to a pure flow trail as you’ll get here.

Best trail at Jockey other than Suzuki moto
