      Brakeless is not a blue trail. It’s mainly made up of doubles automatically making it into a black trail. There is a set of three doubles with mild ramps and knuckles which are perfectly suitable to case. The distance is about 6-7 ft.

      The others however, one in particular, have steep and sharp ramps & landings, lips & knuckles with about 10-12 ft gaps. Definitely not intermediate level jumps and very sketchy to roll.

      Straight boring trail not worth the climb

      The maps makes it look like the trail starts from the road, but you actually access it from the parking lot. Head South, up the steep hill, and to the left.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
