An acronym for No Modifications Allowed, so no trail improvements Parts of this trail will rip the heart out of the most talented riders trying to clean it. Technical climbs and minor rock drops riding on mossy rock slopes. Think Pemby and you'll have good idea on the terrain. Keep trying and cleaning it will reward you with acclamation and glory!

      Just rode this, I thought it was fun, Not easy, certainly has some project potential for most folks. One or two trees down but it’s not trashed, it’s well placed, there are a lot of acronyms you can fill in No mistakes Allowed come to mind if you want to clean it. Some more riders on it will help. The descent on the other side is fun too, nothing scary just slow techy fun.

      This trail is awesome if you like relentless in your face power climbs, chunder downs and slab. I seriously enjoyed it. Could use a little polishing, but it's really good as-is.
