This technical downhill only trail is awesome.
The trail builders did an amazing job of using the unique rocky terrain to build a great mix of drop options, yellow brick road style rock gardens and jumps. The technical sections are mostly at the top. The last 3rd of the trail provides big flow style table tops and senders to small gaps.
A great riding area where you earn your turns, and it is well worth the climb.

A legal, company built trail that actually rips like hell and has sections that are worth looking at before riding? I’m impressed.

This is one of my favorite trails ever. It has technical features, mind boggling rockwork, and some fast and flowy jumps towards the bottom.

This is really good! From technical rock drops to dirt flow, thank you to whoever built this! I love it!

The top section is definitely worth getting off your bike and checking out all the different lines that you can take. Just even the first 20 seconds is awesome for skill building in that regard.
