‼️⚠️ the drop on this trail needs to be decommissioned or completely rebuilt. Someone is going to get seriously injured when they encounter the giant boulder that once resembled a landing of sorts.
braydenharris
The rock roll is very fun! The drop is the best part, though.
vancity
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.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
