      		 Transition for the drop is pretty blown out. Better to go a bit deep to avoid the rocks.

      The rock roll is very fun! The drop is the best part, though.

      This feature is very smooth. Traverse across the roll, aim down and let ‘er fly. The roll will give you the appropriate speed for the drop.

      What's the best to route to take here? After the trail do people generally climb back up via GSM or do they return to Severed?

      Best to ride up the climb after to avoid getting in the way of riders descending
