Intermediate rider and really enjoyed this one till it got to the big rock garden at the end. Psyched myself out and ended up walking it. Shes gonna be a challenge for sure.

Really challenging and very chunky. Not for the faint of heart. I was in over my head but still enjoyed it. A longer travel bike will definitely come in handy here.

Kind of like the rock garden on Rattlesnake, but Car Wreck is rocks all the way through. Very challenging technical trail with tons of rocks and steep sections.

A fun technical downhill with a few drops. It’s really cool to see the car at the bottom

Like rock it but steeper with bigger rocks. Much more difficult in my opinion. I ride Rockit all the way down, I have to walk some of the parts of Car Wreck.

Nice technical ride, some no so difficult drops, and a very challenging rock garden,
that ends in a turn and an old car
