        Rode this on May 4th, 2023. Really fun trail with some good berms for practicing. There is a tree down on the trail, I see a picture posted 5/5/2023 of the same tree.

        This trail is super fun flow. Rode it on my surly bridge club 41x tires. Can't wait to rip it on my mtb. Thank you BAMBA & engineers.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
