      The drop in is short, but steep; most of the time you probably won't have trouble with it. The jumps are just about as big as Catapult's, but maybe a bit shorter. I would definitely say its a strong blue trail, but not quite as difficult as Catapult.
      WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong
      Last two jumps have some very steep lips that are difficult to commit to but the rest of the trail is great.

      As mentioned by @protijy, the trail info is off. - it's a DOWNHILL run/trail and NOT uphill. Please correct

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
