This is all about flow. There's an initial double that serves as skill filter (ride around has been blocked), jumps, gap jumps, berms, a wooden wall ride and larger jumps and drops as you descend. Gap jumps on the lower segment with go-around options. As well as a drop and step down jump to finish the final section.
