Ocean Motion is a pleasant combination between flowy descents and steep punchy climbs. Nestled on a south facing slope of the Jefferson Forest, the trail is quick to thaw in the spring and often the first trail ready to go after heavy rainfall. It features a few small drops, rollers, small jumps and many small features that a keen eye will spot and enjoy. Stealing the KOM on this trail will be no piece of cake due to the trail's tight and unpredictable sections and many sneaky fast lines.
