 Mostly great but a few dry, dusty parts to watch out for. All features are running fantastic. Last feature is a bit dusty on left line. Right line...

      Quite technical and steep. Definitely not a single black (like some users have suggested). Any ride around is blocked by intentional debris.

      Fun challenging black. Love it. You need to be good at a bit of everything to ride this trail. Small rock faces, woodwork, easy(ier) teeter totter, jank, gnar, etc. One of my favorite trails on Fromme, along with Pipeline and Executioner.

      A great classic north shore ride!
      One or two double blackish sections, but it’s mostly a single black in my opinion.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
