      Send Helens had some big surface work this past spring and just recently the top section has been raked - it’s riding awesome!

      Nov 2024 Update: Trail crew have just done some work on the top section before the turn off to Mach 10/Icarus making the top section a bit smoother.
      Entire trail was given some love by the trail crew earlier this year and is running really nicely at the moment.

      Great line, probably even better when there’s a bit of moisture in the ground, it was bloody dry when we did it. Elbow knee pads etc would be a good idea for this one as the ground is rocky as hell

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
