      More of a Red trail instead of Black on here. Bc of Two extremely steep chutes that are 100% committed or you’re screwed. A gap jump into rocky section. 4” drops. Nothing too extreme besides the two chutes

      One OTB on my first time on Skanks, for sure a black diamond trail and yes look at the very steep sections before doing them. Very over growng on some spots.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
