Trail built for a different riding experience on Tiger. This is not a flow trail. Be ready to work for it. Organic left in places and as holes develop they will be tuned but be prepared to have both you and your suspension work for it. The jumps in the middle will take some work.The trail will continue to evolve over the fall as it gets ridden in and we fix problem areas that develop so don't expect it to be the same from one week to the next.

If you like it, please look for work parties and come out and help us make it what you want to ride when you visit
