      Fun flowy trail, heaps of jumps / rollers (good to pump). Also a super nice climb upto it, awesome view at the top. Probably more towards a grade 3 though Smile

      Really fun flow trail. No idea why it’s a G4 tho. It’s just about a G3 for me.

      New work at the top has made it worse. Rollers put in are way too big to actually pump. Removed most of the jumps and made it more pedally.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
