Land Owner
Having gotten the legs warmed up on Simple Jack, Day Walker breaks off to the right soon after you enter the Redwoods. This track is a good opportunity to get back to some more “old school” riding; a track forged with a grubber, rake, blood, sweat and blisters. As a step-up to an intermediate track, Day Walker provides a narrower and steeper decline than Simple Jack, which makes for a really fun little piece of riding.
