Such a fun trail. The gap extensions flow so well
theschulteshredders
This is an amazing trail and is so much fun to ride down, with optional gaps the whole way down this trail is a blast, small warning though, this trail isn’t really flowy, it has lots of little technical sections, though they are not very difficult, if you’re looking for a smoother ride, rythm and blues is very flowy.

Berms tables and optional gaps, some requiring a look-see before sending
