Year Opened2019
Shoulder Roll is BTA’s flagship and OG trail. It descends 663 feet and is downhill only. Shoulder Roll blends fun and fast flowy sections with technical sections tossed in periodically. There is a fun steep granite slab roll, multiple cool wooden bridges and features, a few drops and hips, and multiple tabletop jumps. All features have clear and easy ride-arounds. There are also a ton of mini side features that you can hit along the length of the trail. Shoulder Roll is just giddy fun
Access Info
There are two climb trails providing access: Truckin' which has access off of 302 or Shoulder Press which has access at the corner of Swazey Lane and 302. Access at the top is off Mountain View Lane. Mountain View Lane is a privately maintained road, and currently is restricting travel to resident and property owner only. You will need to earn the downhill by riding up the road. No shuttling.
