      Blind run so take with a grain of salt. Jumps were always a surprise. Very sharp corners, narrow, and little trail speed for the size of jumps. I guess if you had it memorized and pedaled at every chance maybe? But I think because of these factors, the trail doesn’t seem to get much use and has narrowed up with vegetation.

      There’s two sections of tree down. One you have to climb over and another one you have to duck . 6/7 11pm

      Linked up with Bisons Run took us 1h in 33C heat. We rode this blind after riding Tioga all day so we didnt quite have the energy to hit the surprise jumps throughout, they also could have possibly been slightly smaller to conserve speed and make the flow more enjoyable. That being said, its awesome that theyre there at all. Big ole rock gardens are beautiful too!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
