Finger Lickin' Good is a hand-built natural terrain trail. Its descent begins gradually and becomes steeper as the trail meanders through the trees. Off camber turns, some roots, and a stump are really the only technical things near the top that soon changes.

Riders will come upon a steeper section of trail that goes straight down the fall line and turns left. The trail then splits and gives riders a choice of entry into a short and steep rooty rock feature. There is a G-out just beyond where riders will briefly go uphill to scrub speed for a hard right turn. There will be a very short flat section before the trail goes off the limestone shelf. A slight bend to the left sets the rider perpendicular to the drop off.

Options exist to go over the edge. There is a launch rock across most of the trail. One can roll around it on the right and then roll over the edge into the incredibly steep descent. The other option is to pop off the launch rock into the steep landing or simply roll the rock.

All choices lead into the steep landing area that will bend to the right while it is still very steep. The trail widens slightly and riders will have their choice of how to navigate the natural terrain features before it levels out near the end. Air can be had or riders can choose to keep their wheels on the ground with the right line choice. When it does flatten, the fun doesn't end. there is a large rock that crosses the width of the trail. The left side has a rollable option and the right has a lot more bite to it. If airing it off this rock, it will be a flat landing before the trail intersects with Jekyll & Hyde.
