      The trickiest section has been detoured unfortunately. Near the end of the trail, the steep, off camber, etc into the root drop with the 45degree root immediately after the landing. Not sure if it's because of a tree fall, but either way the only actual tech feature is now gonski.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
