Initially built for the Big White BC Cup event.
Has now been converted to make it open to the public. Still gnarly lines and great ride

Naming Story: The name speaks for itself. A few chances to go Over the Bars. Pick your lines carefully.

      This trail has been redone and is a fun single black ride. Lots of rocks and drops and optional gap jumps.About the same difficulty as Hubba Bubba Except more gap jumps.

      Hope this trail is open for the last day of the season after the DH race.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
