      This trail is one of my favourite go to trails when I want to go for spin. Great mix of flow, small drop jumps and tech.

      Pretty choppy on a hardtail due to rock gardens, couldn’t keep much speed. Actually preferred Drops next door even though it was more difficult.

      Fun trail! Pretty hard to hit some of the rocky sections going up and some tight berms on the way down but definitely flowy and fun sections!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
