A classic...steep, off camber and slippy Lots of gnarly sections to test your skills. The track crosses the Skyline access road halfway down and then splits shortly after. Stay right after the road to stay on Grundy and split left to hit Jeremy's track which has some cool drops and tight doubles. Both tracks merge onto Original so watch out for passing traffic.
