This trail offers old school vibes and is littered with roots, abrupt and off-camber turns, jumps and drops. It is significantly more technical than most other trails in the Academy Hill network, especially during wet weather. All features are mandatory - this is not a beginner friendly trail.

Access Info

At the top of Upper Academy Hill turn left towards the groomed trail. Once there, continue for approximately 150m the entrance is on the left before the stream/culvert.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Kind of lame but the gps data for this trail won't upload properly. There is a short climb mid trail, its benched and fairly easy to spin up.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
