MTB Mor, I watched your video before riding it today and you made it look easier then it is. Super fun trail, little bit of everything and the shady oaks single track is no bargain either, some tech in that one
MTBMOR
This is a legit trail. There are a few rocky sections and people go up and down it.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
