Pretty hammered and eroded from the recent rain bomb. Lots of sand in the corners. Could do with an overhaul.

      GREAT trail full of features and drops! A + B Lines + signs everywhere! Seems to be well maintained. Thanks trail ferries!

      Trail winds around a little at the top before a couple of drops of around 1.5m each. Middle section has a few steep and techy rock rolls that were a little dry and loose before a short jump section and few more drops. Save some for the ride back out! Nice technical trail that's got some committing features.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
