      Super fun trail! Only double black if you do the big rock roll, which is optional. Similar to Expresso on the north shore for difficulty and optional hard features.

      Drop to rock wall ride to ladder bridge drop to launch/drop is one of the best trail sections anywhere 😃

      A short but fun lap. No blind features and good catch berms/run outs.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
