      Trail has seen a lot of love over the past couple years and is getting more in 2024. it's old school XC riding with a couple techy descents mixed in... if you are looking for a shuttle DH trail this is NOT it,,, if you love tech riding through an amazing section of forest i'd highly recommend

      Rode this on the weekend and it's running great if you love old school technical gnar .. XC type terrain with a couple steep downs
