      The jumps at the beginning are so so so much fun. I took the last lift up to do the jumps and had so much fun I pedaled back up. This trail is overall great. Connects to a fun steep double black to finish off an amazing run

      Super rough and chattery - this trail really need some work. Not up to the standards I’d expect paying money to ride at a bike park. Shouldn’t that money go to trail maintenance?

      Super fun trail. Lots of jumps, lots of berms, lots of steep switchbacks. Nothing too techy.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
