Rootdown is a challenging, high-speed, machine-built downhill trail with doubles, step-ups, step-downs, a ladder bridge drop, and tight tricky corners. The best way to ride this trail is as fast as you can.

This trail is still in it's infancy, and needs lots of work to come into it's potential, but it gets better every ride.

Dry but running great. The new step up and wood drop are insane! Props to whoever built it up. Definitely one of my favorite features in the area....
