The steepest and most challenging trail in the bike park at this point.

The trail begins with a committing roll down a steep rock slab with a rocked in runout. There are numerous rock gardens and rollers on the trail. Everything is rollable, however it seems like the rock gardens are meant to be gapped over - they are chunky, and often with a janky drop off at the end which makes them a bit awkward. The trail is soft/loose in places which can make it harder to carry speed, while other sections are fast with jumps and rollers you can pump. There are some mandatory rock rolls that are off camber if you stay low, or take the higher line. There is a lot packed into a short trail.

      Dirt is super loose in the steep sections. Weeds and shrubs need a trim.
