A much longer and more fun replacement for Xtreeme Bypass. Twisting and turning through the trees, speed makes this one a blast.

      The trail flows better if you run it reverse.

      My first time really trying MTB, a lot of fun wiped out hard but overall a really intuitive and well kept trail. It starts with an immediate descent and hooks you in. 10/10

      This trail is great for beginners and experts. If you're a pro, just go faster. It's full of turns and switchbacks, a few short technical climbs, super for building flat cornering skills or just practicing. Use your voice or bell though as there are lots of blind corners and the trail is bi-directional.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
