Bootleg has mainly been replaced by Jvenile creating a loop for the kids and newbies.
One section still exists instead of doing the dual slalom. Watch the tree drop just after the start on the first left hander

Access Info

The eastern end is on Nevay Road, just up hill of the last bus shelter before the prison.

The western end is to the right of the prison sign on Main Road, just outside where the road to the water tanks is obstructed by several concrete blocks. Head towards the water tanks to find the top of Jail Brake.
