      Me and my boys (6 and 10) rode Flashback 1-5 and had fun! Monroe’s us at the top of the trail. Hahaha. You can ride it fast or slow and be totally fine, but the couple of sections I rode at 90% were flowy and fast. Highly recommend. Even better if you get the shuttle up!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
