If you are a beginner or do not do jumps, then this is not for you. There are three jumps in the top section, you then go up and over a hedge, then off a drop off. You then have another small jump into a partly bermed corner. Then a sharp right before a pond. Then down two more drops, over a table top and down a short rut section to the road. Hard on the breaks to avoid the gorse and drop. All this in about 40 seconds Loads of fun, lots going on, but you need to know what you are doing.

      Lower half of trail doesn’t really get ridden anymore…has since been replaced by ‘Yew Beauty’ to the right after the track crossing.

      Epic jumping! Loved the top section. Still quite overgrown and the new wider bars did not help. But loads of fun.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
