This is a technical one way downhill line coming off of the Stonewall loop. It is techy, fast, and ballsy all in one. It is one way and mostly downhill but it jumps up and down off of a limestone rock formation so it includes some pedaling as well. There many features of different types in rapid succession on this trial. Rollers, jumps, skinny rocks, and multiple line features dot this trail from top to bottom.
