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.

      The trail is different than it used to have been. All the gaps are now rollable except one on the lower section. Still black, but easier than it was before 2020.

      From 2020 through 2022 Drip Torch is being rebuilt. The wood features have been removed due to maintenance issues. As time & volunteer availability allow, dirt jumps will replace the wood features.
      Every attempt will be made to keep the trail open and ridable while charges occur.
      - Warning: Be aware of changes in trail conditions and the addition of new features.

      Great conditions right now. While everything else around is insanely dry, this one has held up and stayed grippy

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
