Land OwnerCity of Burnaby
Starts at the intersection of Mel's, it has some decent flow with some berms. Generally windy and not too steep but you can still manage to get some decent speed. The trail brings you to a junction where you can choose to ride uppercut or continue down lower gearjammer where it is a steeper, loose and rocky descent with a few rollable drops in the mix. Quite rutted and short but good fun. Please note that if you ride this section it is marked as being closed by the land manager.

Windy middle section to Gearjammer. Easy to get speed with big berms and easy tech. More like a hard blue, not really a black trail.

The lower section is still closed. The city of Burnaby does not support or maintain these trails and the BMBA is rarely allowed permission from the city to maintain them. It's sad.

Top half is open, but the bottom half still says closed, but no barrier. I didn't ride it but I'm guessing others may have.
