A fun flowing trail with several rollers and drops, as well as a steep, technical switchback. Jigsaw 5 starts at Jigsaw 4 and is initially a tight and janky trail that opens up quickly. The trail crosses over the hydro cut twice. The switchback is steep and rooty, and is continuously under pressure from the motos.
This trail is unsanctioned.
