      Slow flowing DH trail. A lot of pedal section but still trending down. Should be rated as a blue. No key features that I would consider as a black.

      Fun trail. It trends downhill but there are some flat sections that need to be pedaled through. Definitely follow the pre-ride, re-ride, free-ride. The jumps look like drops, the drops look like jumps and sometimes the jumps are doubles or gaps that you can’t hit without sufficient speed. So far this is one of the best trails iv found here

      Nothing special. Long. Arm pump city. You’ll get maybe a foot of air off rock kicker.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
