Beef Tub is a great flow trail It features some small but well made jumps, all of which are roll-able. As of May 2021 the trail has become a little rough in places, likely due to the lack of trees around it. A note to advanced riders, some of the jumps are easy to overshoot when riding at a decent pace.
