Gnarly trail. The upper half is more technical with lots of rocks and a step up onto a boulder. The lower half features two rock drops including reef drop which is the largest rock drop at the park. The trail ends with some nice berms at the bottom.

      Amazing trail. Upper section is probably the hardest tech trails on the mountain. Lower part starts with an 8-9 foot rock drop (reef around is the ride-around) into a small road gap. After there is a small 4-5 foot drop with an optional kicker over it. Following comes another drop into a giant berm that raps around and then jumps over the trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
