Fun little section with a twisty skinny, some short tables, and nice log wall that tilts you for some speed into final table. If you live in the DC area, Boss and Yard Sale make meadowood worth a quick city escape. In terms of difficulty, in all, Meadowood is a lot easier than green at Fountainhead. Between Boss and Yard Sale you can really work on jumps, skinnies, and smaller burms to home your skills. There are also a few nice, easy down hill sections, too.
Even experienced riders will have fun on the two feature sections of this trail.
