TTFs on TrailDrop, Jump, Rock Face
Fast and chunky, this trail follows a long abandoned logging road. There are a few sections of exposed rock but generally The Hammer is all about leaning back and letting the bike do the work at speed. Tends to not get much traffic so it is occasionally hard to navigate where it approaches Nescafe.
This trail is unsanctioned.

'm still working on this and there are still a bunch of material in the way at the bottom of the trail so watch out. I'm still going to do the hole trail so it will take a while but I'm going to try and clear the way during the weekend so you can still ride it

I am currently fixing up this trail so plz don't ride it due to some material being in the way.

If anyone wants to work on the trail have at it. I learned very quickly that this trail is not very good for learning on (especially dirt work!). So instead I'm working on a different trail on burke which should be better for learning (Its a secret too shhh) Just felt like giving a little update incase the 2 people that check this trail are curious
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
