      Steep change of pace after riding soft yogurt. Tight little off camber section to start it off then just a banked left turn before heading down again over some rocks then quite a sharp and steep right hander. Lots of fun to pick your way down. Not too high consequence either so good to develop your skills.

      I say its a soft black. Definitely not a double black.
