This is a great, and undeservedly under-ridden trail (best kept secret?). Along with Upper Ivan, Goose Chase is the steepest trail at Tokul East (at least one section of it is slightly steeper than the steepest part of Upper Ivan). Several nice (optional) natural stump jumps add to the fun on the lower section. The steep sections of this trail are NOT good in the rain - unless you like riding super steep, super greasy, deeply rutted clay that collectively make it impossible to either brake or steer, and in which case you just point it and pray till the bottom. This trail runs all the way to the SVT.

      Has one log drop that is a) not optional and b) not rollable. It’s on a reasonably flat-ish / safe area, so jump it or crash over it, like I did. :p

      It’s steep as the description says but it’s not unsettling. Really fun trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
