Originally an old skid road with a few natural hips and lumps. However, over the years this trail has turned into a consistent jumps line. Not the biggest jumps out there but still a lot of fun. Speed checks are necessary with a lot of the jumps as there are a few awkward ones which you need to brake a lot for. Also a new gap jump at the end. A solid jump with a flat landing which eventually slopes into a nice landing. A fairly mighty huck if you clear it to the slope. Stay low on the step downs before it and you will be fine. Also avoid this trail in the wet as it bogs up really badly in some places.

      Awesome job on the rebuild!
      Possibly time to change the description in the overview about brake checking as the jumps flow really well and no need to brake heaps.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
