      Slower style tech compared to Brickyard, basic trials skill are very useful (track stands, pivots, hops to reposition, pedal kicks, etc) to get through the rocks. Definitely a love it or hate it kind of trail...

      Skills test: if you can get a C on Meat Wagon, be proud. Cheat sheet: use platform pedals (trust me here). Seems brand new and needs to be ridden a lot more. But also needs some more work. Almost not impossible not to dab. Sharp uphill, rocks, more rocks, then whoa! A 90 degree right hander with—you guessed it—rocks! Off camber. Slow and difficult. Nothing really too dangerous—because you followed the cheat sheet!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
