      I mostly ride the blues and I found this one pretty hard on dirt bike going downhill. Lots of steep step downs.

      So this is Dirtbike only trail correct? If so the mountain bike video attached to this dirtbike only trail should be removed to not confuse mountain bikers

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
