Year Opened2020
Built as an alternative to the eroded chute at the top of the Bear Back trail. It starts off fast and fairly smooth then finishes with a technical double roll down into some tight corners and gnarly rock section. Connects well with Sneaky Beaky for a bit more spice back onto the Parkway.

There is now a new optional exit to No Malarkey (Sneaky Beaky). Dirt is very fresh and needs to dry out, plus there will be some feature enhancements to it. Comes out onto Bear Mountain Parkway. To find the new trail, as you ride past the downed tree and are coming to the end of No Malarkey you'll see a path to the right - take that. Starts with a mild climb and then goes into some technical rock work with a steep dirt roll into a tight corner.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
