Warning! Fallen tree across the track, about halfway down, just where in the trail forks left for black diamond and right for blue Square. The tree is on the right/blue square track after the fork, in a fast section. The tree is also not very visible, not being very thick, but terribly placed for a crash.

A super fast and fun trail with a neat bridge and jumps. Everything can be easily ridden around.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
