No idea why Galactic Scheisse and Plastic are separate trails when one leads seamlessly into the other, but alas here we are. As mentioned on the Galactic trail description "a good viewpoint that looks down onto the Alice lake zone. The lower portion of the trail opens up with some fun and fast flow". Watch for some bigger erosion points during some of the high sped sections.

        I did a trail day wanting to volunteer for sorca. Even when building I could tell this would be crap. Nothing’s changed

        Plastic and Galactic are different trails because plastic was built before galactic. I think that was back around 2011-ish. Then Galactic opened a couple years after.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
