This is a hand cut rake and ride style trail. Old school New England to the core. There are a few notable rock garden sections that will take some care to navigate successfully, but it's all rideable. As it rides in expect it to get more rooty and techy. Best ridden only in the downhill direction, but if you like a challenge uphill is possible with perhaps a few short walking sections for most riders.

      Great while it’s young. Drop in off Rocky View or View Trail and downhill to Bridge. Once it gets popular it’s gonna be janky
