This is a fun downhill trail that is ridden in reverse for the Sea Otter Cross County course. It's a lot more fun as a flowing Downhill which is how it is typically ridden

      Fun trail for downhill. Its flowy and has some easy jumps.

      Good flow, some nice banked corners, few small jumps. One of the most fun trails in the fort. Less fun uphill but doable.

      Fast and flowy trail but tons of brake bumps! Too rough to be much fun downhill.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
