Land Owner
One of the oldest trails on the mountain with a major overhaul in 2013/2014 still retains its technical nature with a little more flow. Used to access C Buster and John Deer, the trail starts with a steep and stepped chute and rock roll (this section can be bypassed via the new “Dickie” alternate), a flattish pumpy section then takes riders to the main descent just after the John Deer trail head. The trail gets steeper as it approaches the Good Sir Martin intersection then steeper still just after before it’s final flowy section to the exit onto Bridle Path. The trail includes a few skinnies all low to the ground, and several small rock rolls, some of which may be dropped, and a few wider ladder bridges.
The trail is popular with hikers and runners alike and mountain bikers should be prepared to expect foot traffic on the trail. The trail is downhill only for mountain bikers. Do not ride uphill.
Access Info
The trailhead is accessed either from the Baden Powell or via the Upper Severed from the powerlines. Severed ends at Bridle Path.

this trail is mostly like riding an old low angle creek bed down. in contrast to trails like CBC, Cambodia, or Ned's, this really cannot hold a candle.

Found a water bottle on near the bottom of Severed D today. White with some read with the Cooperwilliams Law. Left it at Old Buck parking lot under the sign shelter
