Fun, intermediate level trail with several rock features (aka the "orcs") to ride up, roll over, or pop off of. Keep an eye out for the alternate lines that offer some technical challenge, though nothing too crazy. There are a lot of options on how you can ride this trail


The section between Penny Lane and Middle Myth is rideable either direction. The section below Middle Myth is primarily downhill.

Access Info

from the bottom Penny Lane, look left and you will see a trail about 15-20 feet that goes south, beginning with a little rock to roll over.

        The trail has now been extended to meet up with lower Zipper. There are a few feature options on this section, but otherwise it is a fast, flowy end to the trail.
        bizango-x bizango-x
        An extension down to Myth has been added and is ready to ride. In keeping with the spirit of the original upper section, the lower part has a series of rock features (the “orcs”) to play on and includes several roll overs and small rock ramps to pop off of. All of the features have ride arounds so that all skill levels can enjoy the trail. If you cruise down it’s probably a “green” level trail, but if you ride it aggressively and take advantage of the features it can be a “dark blue” level trail. Have fun!
        bizango-x bizango-x
        If you're climbing up the trail, there's an easier, alternate route up the old original trail just before you intersect Myth. Just go straight rather than veering right into the upper rock feature area.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
