      Jumps felt perfect like i was riding tidal wave in deer valley

      Top half is pretty chunky and probably closer to a black. Bottom half is blue, smoother and faster with some jumps. I really enjoyed the top half, the rest is okay but unless you're specifically looking for a jump line I think the other trails in the system have a lot more to offer.

      I rode this last in May 2020 - probably before they rebuilt the jumps. I preferred Cairnage personally, but I prefer tech over jumps. I love that they built a jump line! But they felt pretty big for the way the trail was built, as a warning for those less inclined towards jumps.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
