It is very heavily overgrown with tall grass and bushes. if it was clear it would be a lot better. It was a lot longer than I was expecting so it wasn't very fun for me but maybe because I'm just a beginner.
Arkinien
Lots of fun.
You want to ride it toward Sidewinder, or you’ll meet some seriously challenging climbs and miss all the fun!

Fantastic ride, berms in the gully are classic.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
