      Definitely the most “extreme” trail at Dutch Hollow, and a ton of fun! Some flowy jump sections up top with great berms and some steep & loose down towards the bottom. Nothing too crazy though. I wish the doubles were a little more purpose built, many of them are like glorified whoopdie doos, too spread out too jump. Definitely takes a lot of speed to clear some of them

      Trail has a few cool features, but you really have to ride this a few times to get the jump speed down, especially the first set. Problem is there isn't really a good way to loop this trail. Overall, it's a decent trail. Not great, not terrible. Not worth driving very far for.

      Great Track. Super creative. Everything works super well at trail speed except for the small double at the very beginning. I'm pretty sure Eric Stritter built that just because he's a sadist. Just kidding. But for a small jump, it's a heck of a squirrel catcher.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
