TTFs on TrailBerm, Drop, Jump, Rock Face, Rock Garden, Wallride
Steep 40 ft slab to start, followed by a step up. The trail then travels over a great exposed rock section before ducking into a beautiful patch of mossy woods. There is then a drop, followed by a table top and a beautiful wooden berm (carpentry by Aaron Raasenberg). All jump features are woven into the natural terrain beautifully. Concept by AJ Strawson of SORCA, fundraising and managment by Saint John Cycling, designed and built by Dig In Trailbuilding (Saint John, NB).
