      Exhilarating tech downhill with a natural feel, even still loamy in sections. Plenty of roots and rocks to keep things interesting but nothing an intermediate rider couldn’t navigate. More gravity than Grin and Bear It which helps with some of the more rugged sections. There are a couple gap jumps that don’t have ride arounds but you can just roll right over them if you aren’t jumping. Overall this trail is a blast!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
