A popular trail to session, fun small-medium size jumps at the top of Cog Wild that lead into a nice cruise through the young pines to the lower half of Cog Wild. In the lower half of the trail there are a couple berms and jumps, the trail leads out to the main trail junction of Boost/Crank/Rakehead/Cog Wild. All features have a ride around option and this trail can be ridden in both directions but is primary downhill.

The best way back from Outer Rim... it takes a few sessions to feel the jumps, but really flowy and well put together.
