      i dunno what’s in the water here but this is easily the hardest trail i’ve ever ridden, or at least tried so. felt like a badass after riding salmon and pitch black and promptly got put in my place on skyerippa. many rutted out, steep, and rooty corners that take skill and commitment to clean.

      you’re a savage if you can ride this top to bottom

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
