This is the continuation of the Downhill only section of JEM that takes you through a sandy wash. After you drop off the sketchy canyon edge, you rip down through the high walls of the wash. It moves fast and fun until you reach the intersection of Dead Ringer and Goosebumps.

      Loved riding down JEM! This was a fun section that you could get up some decent speed on.
