      Lots of very fun features such as drops and skinnies with a few harder black lines at the end.

      Possibly my favourite trail at Glentress and a bit different from most as you pick your way through and over the rooty obstacles. Testing drop off at the end but there's an alternative line if you don't fancy it

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
