Primarily a descending trail, Skyfall is one of the more popular trails among the gravity set. It starts off with mild gradient and some pedalling as well as a few jumps. Once it crosses the road it gets steeper with some rocky roll downs and a drop-off (that can be rolled). The lower segment has a number of flat turns with small jumps that can be rolled or jumped if you want to build momentum. Skyfall drops 179 metres and has an average gradient of -8.9% maxing out at -30.5%. Skyfall should only really be ridden by skilled, confident descenders. Skyfall is part of the Black Route and is also used as an Enduro line.
