Commonly used by mountain bikers as a fun and fast downhill section. Starts at the same place as twister and heads to the right. Has some tight turns through trees then past the entrance to an old quarry and onto the fast section down to the forest road. Beware that people may be walking on the forest road and you could exit bobsleigh at speed. If possible use a spotter to confirm it is clear. Surface is mostly pine needle and pinecones which are like marbles but otherwise firm and well drained.
