Steelville Bike Park's Green/blue flow line. This line has something for all skill levels. Trail has several large, but easy to ride swooping berms followed by rollers and jumps. Each jump has a ride around option or a booter option to get sendy. One of the longer trails at the park, but great warm up laps or family friendly laps with everyone.
