Sentiero nella parte bassa di Nazzano Trail Area, l'ingresso è in comune con 2nd Half dall'asfalto, dopo il primo ripido e nel successivo tratto in leggera salita, si prende a destra.
L'andamento è guidato, con numerosi cambi di pendenza e direzione, con un gradone roccioso in curva che si può evitare prendendo la Chicken Line sulla sinistra, e poi un altro tratto sempre molto guidato nel bosco dopo l'attraversamento della sterrata (si esce e si prosegue dritto).
Ci sono un paio di salti in legno ben fatti, e una nuova uscita appena fuori dal bosco di Gonzo Line (si prende a destra), che evita il canale roccioso ormai troppo scavato.
La chiusura è nel pratone, a fianco dell'uscita di 2nd Half, di cui rappresenta un'ottima alternativa per chi ama i trail flow ma più guidati e sfidanti.

Access Info

Strada asfaltata che collega Nazzano a Buscofà, salendo dal borgo di Nazzano sulla destra (a sinistra esce invece 1st Half).

Disclaimer

Causa ripetuto passaggio delle moto la seconda parte è molto scavata, con la traccia originale non solo difficile da seguire ma anche impraticabile in alcuni punti.
