This is a fun machine built progression jump line well worth checking out.
Each jump has a landing for novice and intermediate level jumpers this means the trail flows for all levels even those rolling the jumps making it a very family friendly trail.

There are a couple of trail crossings to be aware of however they are not particularly high speed crossings.
