Another North Shore classic filled with mandatory A-frames, skinnies, steep drops and granite TTFs. Brought back from the dead thanks to the NSMBA TAP program, the 5 year rebuild maintains the integrity of the original while bringing the trail experience into the modern era with jumps, rollers, doubles and even a rollercoaster. One of the more difficult Seymour trails due to its exposure, steepness and consequences.
