The most technically demanding trail in the BD system, the Hurl is a badge of honor and a fun trail overall. Riding it outbound from BD, you get a nice warm up, but the pitch increases quickly, and combined with loose rock, most riders dismount here and there. Once on top, the views are fantastic and the DH is twisty, rocky, and fun. If reversed, the climb is 100% rideable with practice and the DH into BD is shorter and steeper.

new fav trail in BD. Rode it south to north. Ascent is all ridable and the decent is fun with a couple of steep chunky bits but nothing double black.

Really fun trail, ride south-north for a more manageable and rewarding climb and sweet descent. Wish this was 3-5 miles longer!

Hurl is my go to trail in Nevada when I want to test my physical condition, I instantly know from my time what my level of condition is because the trail is a healthy balance of technical and climbing that can be ridden in roughly 20 minutes which is what a lot of folks use for testing power thresholds. It also has great views at the top and while the downhill is ride-able, I don't find it particular fun because of all the loose rock.

I arrived after logging 12 miles doing flow job from the blue diamond parking lot after that…This trail was painful. Come to ride it with fresh legs and a new perspective on life. Then I think I would write a different report. Have fun!
