One of the best trails in the forest. Fast with lots of bumps to pump or boost. A bit of a climbing on the way out after merging with Ninja.

       There has been some work on heavy metal from the early days. Quite fun sections. probably could do with a few more shovels of clay thrown around in the right places. --Yeah I should come to the dig days...
