 Holy moly - those braking bumps are more like mountains and valleys. The jumps are running really well, but the top half is really beaten up.

      Fun steep trail with lots of large berms and jumps. However, some have lots of breaking bumps on and I wouldn’t recommend riding it on a hardtail!

      Great trail. Fast, loose, with some lovely berms and table tops

      Be aware of loose surfaces and use caution on windy days, otherwise one of the best views on the hill.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
