      Rode 6/1/2024 - Incredible. Most things that are as much fun as this trail are illegal. The trail surface is absolutely perfect.

      This trail is so amazing! There is big plank missing from the last bridge on this trail which advanced riders will clear when they are doing the jump leading to it. Thank you so much for all your work on this trail system.
