Above my level but still had a blast. Had to walk a couple of sections. Starts off deceptively easy but gets significantly more challenging with the wall rides, one of which is tricky to walk around.
Bro-tato
+1 on the wear and tear comments. The rock armoring is coming loose in the section above the Red Bull feature and the right hander towards the bottom with the pavers has almost eroded away - which is encouraging riders into he dusty inside line which is making the problem worse. Gypsy needs love

Getting a little busted up this season. erosion bricks have been slowly coming loose and eventually moved off the trail, more and more each week. I tried to turn on one today and the whole thing just shifted to the side, I bet it will be missing in a week or two. the rock paved roller section is starting to show that same wear and tear at the top as well.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
