    Berm, Jump

Berms, roll able jumps, doubles for those who love linear progression, nice long smooth contours with G-outs through the Valley - this flowing fun factory is a great way for riders to develop their off-road skills by leaning the bike over, getting a little bit of air and staying off the brakes. Easily ridden by anyone it is great for all ages.

Access Info

Start is at the junction of Parmi, the end of Ridgeline By-Pass and the end of Ridgeline Jumps.

      Really really fun trail because you're not brake checking and squashing rollers. The trail speed is just right
