Dirt jump slalom course with tons of (optional) doubles, rollers, and -you guessed it- berms. Lower section is often sessioned by itself as a "downhill pump track". Very fast and flowy, more for the experienced rider.

 Muddy in sections - wooden features slick from rain; some low hanging branches that will smack you in the face

 Chaos at the bottom still exists with jump work being dime but otherwise running well

 Good conditions, but watch out at the finish: it looks like they're working on the very last jumps at the bottom. Might need time to let them set...

      Never been to this park. Can anyone verify if the place has been kept up? Is the Bermsled jump line operational or is it pretty weathered? All the posts and videos seem to be pretty old at this point. Much appreciated.

      This is actually really fun route for strong novice/intermediate riders as well. The walk up means you can do it over and over again to really practice hitting the turns more decisively if you are still a new rider - just go slow the first lap to identify the advanced features so you can divert around them if you are not ready for them yet. The black elements are all optional and easy to skirt around once you know where they are, and what is left is just really fun flowy curves + berms.

      Lots of fun even if you don't hit the jumps. Easy climb to the top on the road makes it fun to hit multiple times

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
