      It’s really not that nuts, but as mentioned, there’s just 50 feet of 1 foot (steep) stone steps that really aren’t even fun to ride. Do not make the same mistake and be enticed by the challenge lol

      It’s double black because of a steep stone staircase section in the middle. About 50, 1ft stone steps. I walked it and still fell

      This is legitimately one of the hardest lines I've ever ridden. This is legitimate Double Black park. Think about your lines, and even then. This is nuts.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
