This is one of the Maple Ridge Woodlot classics, newly re-imagined for sustainability by builder's Ryan and Eugene.



With plenty of challenges, this ride hooks up with great fall line riding from Blood Donor, and flows nicely into Hoots.

      Amazing trail. Tons of flow, some really great berms and lots of jumps and smaller drops. Very very fun trail. Highly recommended.

      Love the sign. Would of taken the Hammerschmidt cranks off for sentiment.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
