Not too many features but there is a steep section that is easy to build up too much speed on about 100m in. End section is pretty tame.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Disclaimer

Not to be confused with the official trails! This is an unsanctioned DH trail and is considerably more challenging than the black trail centre loop, even when dry.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Wide enough but some small drops
