      Unfortunately all the flow trails at Huntley gravity zone are extremely loose. Couldn't have any fun here. The only good jump trail in little sugar that I've found is vista east

      Awesome trail but in serious need of maintenance. It made the back 40 look clean.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
