      Hi, I built this trail in 2012. It is actually two trails. The first section from top of Happy to mid point of Hawaii is called "Giv'r". It has the cute rock cliff ledgy bit you have to thread. Past the rock cliff you can enjoy a nice alternate descent to Hawaii (which I also built), or continue up to Hawaii intersection, where Shama actually starts (as a climbing trail). As far as I am concerned, it is fine to ride these trails both ways, that is how they were designed.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
