If you like rocks and tech, this trail is a party with multiple bonus drops and moves.

A quintessential tech trail. Outstanding ride, if you love challenging rock moves.
mattbac
Pretty challenging. I'd have to be a much stronger (and well rested) rider to enjoy this. Definitely cool terrain though.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
