        Fun trail with plenty of tech to keep you interested. There are a few spots where a drop or jump could be dangerous if you’re not prepared, keep your eyes open if it’s your first time on the trail.

        Better downhill for sure but super fun and technical trail. It is super tough and Rocky and if anyone does the whole thing without dabbing I would consider you a legend.

        Definitely better as a downhill starting from the top of Trent Trail
