      Blue flow trail with some optional jumps (marked and technically rollable but if your rolling them you might as well just ride the main trail and avoid the features)

      Bike park run. In poor shape☹️ Lots of holes, ruts and loose sections. Needs regular maintenance by RCR. Disappointed in the conditions.

      When I go back I'll spend the whole day lapping top gun! Great progression of jumps and berms throughout, a nice speed, and it drops you off at lizard lane for a little jump sesh!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
