Downward Dog is an intermediate downhill-only trail starting at the highest point on Momentum. The top half of the trail is machine-built, mostly dirt, with some steep, challenging turns and one good rock-roll over a granite boulder. Halfway down the trail crosses Wabi Sabi. Here you have the option to take lower Wabi Sabi to the left or head right onto lower Downward Dog, where shortly the trail turns to hand-built and descends over several granite boulders with some fun, challenging lines among the rocks.

Downward Dog intersects Wabi Sabi once again just above the final black pitch on that trail, with the option to either turn right to finish on the intermediate Dwayne Johnson (the large granite rock at the bottom of Chaos Theory), or the more advance final pitch of Wabi Sabi.

At the bottom of The Rock, you'll hop on Green Heart for a climb to the top or a hot lap around Rotarian in lower VTT.
