High speed fun

After the super techy and slightly scary upper trails that lead to Reaper, it's an absolute blast to hit the beginning of this section and just open it up. The Reaper section is best ridden, and most fun, by ignoring the brakes and going for it.

There is one steep and loose section near the beginning that might be worth having a look at first, but most riders who have reached that point will have the skills to charge it blind.

No jumps and no huge hucks to flat. Could easily be downgraded to a single black, especially considering it is currently graded the same as Snakeback and Armageddon, which most would agree are considerably more difficult.
