A truly excellent intermediate jump line. Don’t ride Blue Lake without a lap or three here!
misterjohn123
def my fav intermediate (and maybe advanced) trail at arcata. relatively wide open with no steeps or big natural features, but lots of optional lips, doubles, and drops that are good for progression. some features will have three options (ride around, intermediate, intermediate bordering on advanced)
remrem
Flowey trail with a few berms and Beginner to intermediate gap jumps. Pretty fun!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
