      Dumps you into loose dirt and gnarly roots and then into flow and berms, and right back into tech again. Bumpy and rocky with a flowy feel.

      Wow! Amazing trail.Dry summer = 6 inches of moon dust and still this trail is the tits! Gets it black rating from the steepness.No big jumps,not a lot of rocks. Just fast and steep. I was dragging my rear break for a lot of it.

      Fun AF and really well designed. Definitely takes a couple laps to really learn it and find the flow, but once you get it it’s hard to find a better trail in the area

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
