Sandy's newest jump trail is an expert-level, machine built jump trail. Vast majority of the jumps are gaps so pre-riding is advised to ensure success and safety. Trail starts big with a few 20-25' gaps, then moving to gaps in the 10-15' range before mellowing in the second half with gaps more in the 5-10' range.

Enter trail via the lower Hide N Seek entrance (across from the bottom of Flowmotion) - pedal up trail over two bridges, push up other side of bridge up the rock garden- 50ft to the entrance of "Johnny Royale". IF your coming from the upper system- its at the very bottom of "Two Turntables" or bottom of "Upper Hide N Seek"

      Definitely one of my all-time favorite trails. Pretty big, but it just flows so well. Red line at bachelor is the only thing that comes close to how much confidence this trail will inspire in you!

      Riding the lips equals a non-fat lip .... please don't coast and roll over the lips! Awesome fun line that is basically a green trail if you aren't hitting the jumps. Lower section is very mellow. If you want to practice jumps, start on Little Monkey and TNT and Middle Hide N Seek. It's a great line to go fast and hit jumps on, so get your practice in and move up to some bigger ones when you feel ready. Highly recommended that you get towed in from an expert rider if you can on the bigger upper jumps.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
