Fast, flowy, and loamy downhill with a couple of gap jumps that are great as a continuation of the Hacked Through to Go Kart gap jump line. Fun as an alternative to Bordercurve for a second lap. Following the gap jumps, it gets quite loamy, fast, slippery and flowy down to the lower section. To climb back up, start by climbing on Borderline (Lower), then take the Borderline Climb for an easier ride up (and to not mess up the jumps and trail).
