Memphis is a top to bottom high-speed single track trail that acts as an entry point for the majority of trails. The lowest section of Memphis is a machine built jump trail, offering a great warm up for Adrenaline Riders can expect steep sections leading into meandering singletrack.

Another outstanding Prevost trail that likely played a big role in grooming Steve Smith towards the UCI World Cup DH championship as well as locals elite racers like Mark Wallace.

I encountered a few fallen trees and big branches, some after jump landings. I think the trail has seen better days 🤪
