Flowy downhill trail with some great corners and fast lines. This trial is still being worked on so expect some changes over the next few months as jumps and berms are still being added. The trail rides great as is, all features are rollable and the trail speed is starting to come up. Visit toplefttrails.org if you would like to get involved in the build process
