Land OwnerDeer Valley Resort
Built by Gravity Logic. Bermed roller coaster with small tabletops in between switchbacks. Fast downhill and really sharp berms. This upper sections has some steep turns that tend to get really bumpy. This top section is probably the most difficult part before you get to the meadow.

Agreed with above...there ZERO need to skid any track here...ride it, don’t slide it! Most of the flow tracks don’t require hardly any breaking...The berms will hold!

Dear everyone that rides this trail: the braking bumps are getting ridiculous. Just trust the berms!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
