Rickshaw features several Technical Trail Features (TTFs), including logs rides, a linear take-off gap jump, a step-up/step-down platform jump, and some technical turns. All gap features can be ridden around and are not mandatory. Enjoy this short stretch of unique trail as you make your way down to the Edge

Not recommended when trail is wet. The clay is very sticky and slick.

Access Info

Head to the junction where Halfway to the Edge starts going down the hill. Rickshaw begins to the left of the junction.
