Shake-Down was built in 2011 as an alternate to the access road from the Homer Folks Campus to the top of the ridge and the water tanks. Smooth and bench-cut, it makes for a nice warm-up climb up to the water tanks or a quick ripper descent as part of a loop of Over Easy.

Like most trails in Oneonta and all trails in the Homer Folks area, this trail is rideable during or after considerable rain.

Shake-Down was designed and built by Mike Jaworski, Joe Prio, and Sam Brown-Shaklee in 2012.
