    Drop, Jump, Gap Jump

A one-way downhill. To access, shuttle the roads up to the drop-in or you can pedal up the surrounding logging roads to get in from the top. This is a fast flowing technical trail with some rhythm sections filled with jumps. Other areas have many tree roots and sections with natural terrain. Mostly winds along a ridgeline and finishes with some bench cuts. The lower sections get shuttled more often than the top.
