      Pretty mellow side loop with a couple of little jumps. Good design and use of the side hill. Good drainage. More fun coming down. Easy not really worth it climb, I feel like it only gets in the way of someone trying to try jumps for the first time.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
