Don't let the name fool you, Grasshopper is one of Galbraith's premiere jump lines Poppy doubles will remind you of something between Crank it up and A-line if you've ever ridden in Whistler.

This is a great year around trail, however don't ride it after trail work has recently been done and it's still soft.
