      It’s definitely a blue, it is definitely not the nicest flow trail. You can’t get enough speed for the jumps as they are not placed nicely.

      Fun blue flow trail. 2nd last jump has a drastically steeper profile then the rest and will buck newer riders. Doesn’t fit the rest of the trail so be forewarned.

      Really fun trail. Some berms may need TLC, but it's overall a fun run

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
