Upper Hooligan will start as a fun "enduro" style DH trail with berms, rocks and jumps with similar features found throughout the entire length of trail. Use Upper Hooligan to connect to Lower Hooligan for 5 miles of exceptional downhill riding engineered by Dirt Mechanics out of Bend, OR
Access Info
Ride up on Spence Mountain South Ridge and stay right appx. 5 miles where the trail splits. Upper Hooligan starts with short, quick climbs thru some rocks and leads into jumps, berms and rock features. After several switchbacks you will be spit out onto the fire road and look for the trail to continue on the right. After another section of great downhill you will naturally be sent left on another fire road. Stay on the road until you see an obvious trail on the right.

I invite you to be a bit careful on the upper, technical rocky section if like me you're a high intermediate/low advanced rider who likes speed. The trail invites you to go fast, but punishes for a lack of skill. I had a pretty scary death wobble landing (saved it!) after getting some air. The rocks they move! But if you like tech, this is totally worth it.

The fun sections of this trail are ridiculously fun! Lots of fast and flowy - but still rocky - swoopage. But there's also a lot of flat-ish stuff where you can tell it was an old road, makes for a weird contrast.

Great trail! But the signage on the ground indicates that it does not start this high.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
