I would call this a blue/black trail. All the features except the very last gap jump at the bottom you can roll over to include kids in elementary. They are steep up and down, however a confident rider can roll over all the tabletops. The full is definitely in jumping all the table tops, the road gap, and if I had a full suspension I would try to gap jump at the end. It's my kids and I favorite trail and jump line at Swan Creek. Fast and fun!

The main flow trail at Swan Creek, Ground Control is an easily lappable intermediate difficulty run. Somewhat poor design as speed is killed right before the “road gap” but has some fun jumps throughout and provides riders of different abilities their own challenges.
