Taco Cat-A starts with an arrow-shaped wooden drop, then makes its way over to a big wooden flyover drop. A few nice corners link this to a long wooden drop. The trail ends with a tabletop and merges with Hippie Cowboy.

      Amazing trail with super cool features, speed is your friend especially for the final drop/ road gap

      Definitely a double black with big hairy features. The first is the arrow drop. It's not huge but it's big enough and when I went the landing was a little worn. The shark fin is epic. The top of it is like 30ft in the air. Go in fast and enjoy the ride. The super long bridge road has the scariest approach because you cannot see the landing until your about to go over. Definitely throw in some pedals and don't case.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
