Lots of expert options, though ride-arounds exist for most. Good air-out sections and medium embedded rocks. You can get some good speed through the trees, then pick which jump height you want from 3 options. More little jump options and some nice berms where you can throw the bike and get some good speed.

After you cross the Off the Top (1) Road, you dump left and get sent through some fast berms through the trees. Oh, and a small rock drop, what for that.

 Seems like it got some new dirt this season! Lower part without the new dirt was wet, loose, and rocky.

      Great 9 foot drop at the beginning, the biggest at the mountain by at least 3 feet.

      I think this trail also has the biggest drop on the mountain at the beginning
