This is a full blown gravity fed trail for advanced riders. Rock rolls, berms, jumps and g-outs and a stream gap All jumps have go arounds and it is advised that you have a look before you ride them. The rock roll after the flat traverse is quite large and recommend that you look at it before rolling it. This trail can be challenging at speed but also fun if you are looking to get a good decent filled with rock slabs and catch berms.

The trail was developed many years ago and has been fine tuned to entertain anyone looking to put their suspension and wheel strength to the test!

Take notice… near the bottom of Kandagnar you will cross a skidder path before dropping into the last section. Either continue straight or take a quick left and hook up with the bottom section of Pinball!

Upper Kandagnar was recently rock armored by IdeRide and a board member just repaired the run in to stream gap! Upper Gnar is riding great!

      Awesome trail!!! Just be aware the way that NoCo trails are rated - the sketchy steeps and big gaps definitely make this a very challenging double black and should only be attempted by expert riders.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
