The beginner flow/jump trail at Rhyolite Bikepark. This trail starts off with a small rock garden, and then descends down to the Rhyolite Skills Park. Expect small rollers, medium and large sized berms and some small rocks that have worked their way onto the tread in places. This trail is arguably the most flowy one at Rhyolite Bikepark, and is fun for riders of all skill levels.

Beginners can feel what it is like to roll through a trail, and advanced shredders can gap between the rollers. This trail is very fun and family friendly. It is BIKES ONLY and DOWNHILL ONLY.

Very dry soil with loose rocks smattered on the trail. Made it hard to keep grip without riding brakes.

      This is the beginner (Green Circle) downhill line at Rhyolite. It has some fun turns in it, and some small rollers.
      Because of the location of this trail, rocks have made their way onto the tread causing the first portion to be a little rough. After that, the trail comes out of the brush. The rocks are only in the upper portion- the Lowe portion remains smooth and flowy.

      After that, the trail leads you to the lower portion of the park, and lines you up for the trick jump- a small forgiving double next to the trailhead. There used to be a big mulch landing on this jump, but not anymore. People rode it, and did not rake the mulch back up after they were done. This caused the mulch to become spread out in the surrounding grass, and not on the landing of the jump. Please always respect trails and trail builders. If the people who rode this park before me did, we might still have a mulch trick jump there.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
