      A great challenging old school technical trail. Very twisty with steep ups and downs with obstacles to navigate.
      The steep rocky climb with rock pile at top at end a bit mean.

      Super promising new trail! Pretty bare bones at the moment but has potential. A few well placed kickers and a drop would go a long way! Hopefully the trail builders keep picking away at this one. Arkell Vibes.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
