A nice easy track for beginners or experts alike. There are a couple of small and easy ramp jumps and there is a "no jump" option on the B-Lines. A good track to warm up on and get a feel for the ground conditions.

 Some soft and greasy spots. Water pooling in some spots towards the start/end junction. Might benefit from some rock armour?
