One of the best pedal up black jump trials in BC. So fun and a must ride if that's what you're into.

      It's safer to have larger tables at comfortabel trail speed then to limit your size of tables to a certain measurement to call it blue and cause a bunch of dangerous overshoots and crashes

      All rollable but damn! Such a fun black trail. Massive massive tables, big shark fin and a solid drop on the trail. Ya sure it's all rollable or you can ride around but come on, 20 feet table isn't blue anywhere
      Still recommend and can't wait to lap again

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
