      Honestly a well constructed, technical trail. I'd describe it as a "baby lunch line", those who know, know. Went over the bars on a hairpin turn, nearly totalling my yeti turq frame and rendering my drop post useless. Still, 5 stars.

      If you can't launch the baby kickers at the top you're better off turning back. It gets SERIOUS.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
