This Northside ripper includes a little of everything - great berms, drops, jumps, high-speed chicanes, and of course roots. Descending the NW side of Galbraith, Bob's transitions from forest, to recently thinned, to clearcut - putting you out at the base of Pipeline Rd. Lovingly maintained and tweaked by it's creator, this trail pretty much always rides well.
