Progression is at the heart of RIP, a blue jump line that blends fast, flowy jumps with a mix of technical terrain. Accessed to the right off lower Banzai Downhill, the trail opens with fast tabletop jumps and sculpted berms before sending riders into tech sections through natural rock formations.

As the trail continues, riders can build their airtime confidence on a few progressive jumps that can be doubled or tripled depending on speed and skill. Adventurous riders can take an optional right branch for a road jump into the lower section, which delivers a final mix of jumps and tech down to the exit at the orange gate. From the bottom, riders can head down the road to the parking lot or pedal back up the road to return to the Basic Training skills area.

      The new Jumps are great! I wouldn't call this a blue trail at all. If this is blue than SG 3 is a green trail.

      Renovated from top to bottom during the last build season. Wood replaced with up to 20’ dirt tables, new berms and new bridges. More speed and more air!

      Not my favorite trail here but fun nonetheless. It’s better than Sickter 6 or taking the access trail down. A bit technical on the first half after some sketchy wood jumps. But after that there tinker bell. If you don’t touch the brakes from the start to the end it makes quite a thrilling ride!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
