Newest trail at HammerFest. Fun little trail with some small rock features and easy drops and berm corners. Connects at the bottom to Pantyline.

      Panty Line was super fun but I personally didnt find pumpkinator very enjoyable. Too many hairpin turns and really tight switchbacks, not a lot of flow to it.

      Very lose so be careful on the steep turns, but if done correctly it so rad!

      First time on this side, that rocked!! Could use less than 170 degree turns tho, almost bailed on one hard! Watch your speed cuz these are a bit nasty Smile

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
