A continuation of Pseudo-Tsuga - Part 1 and Pseudo-Tsuga - Part 2, featuring a few small rollable jumps, a scenic bridge to check out a waterfall, and finishes with a high-speed roller coaster of a section featuring the best berms of the entire trail.

Takes riders down to the lower Diamond Head parking lot. There's a reason why that parking lot is generally referred to as the Pseudo lot - the trail takes riders right there.

        This is a great trail. Fast, big berms, several (non-mandatory) jumps. You can take it slow and it’s an easy way down, or ride it like a race track! Just a fast berm trail with no technical features. Have fun!
        KaedezjhSZ5
        Perfect trail. Kind of like if crank it up in whistler was free. Such a fun ride

        Berms are well built and flowy and trail is super smooth. Would like to see some more jumps

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
