    Drop, Jump, Gap Jump

The start is to the right of a large tree. Follow the trail down and take a tight left with a small drop on the corner, Just after the optional wall ride style mud bank there is a tight right and the trail splits. If its your first time take the right line as the jumps on the left line get big quite quickly.

This trail is unsanctioned.
