      Agree with the other comments, this is a blue by DV standards, not black. The berms may be intimidating for beginners, but overall this is significantly easier trail than Regulator, with no jumps and nothing technical.

      Fun trail. As others have said, easier and more flowy than regulator. Personally I'd rather this a blue.

      Classic bike park flow trail. Definitely not a black. Lots of hip jumps and big berms.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
