      Sometimes I like to give the DH lines a go just for the hell of it, and sometimes they're fun and rollable if you take it slow. This one is a true double black that cannot be approached as a fun rolly track - hats off if you can do it, genuinely in awe

      Very technically challenging especially on anXC bike but had a blast
      Bestridden when dry the rock gardens are super slippery
