Some say this flowy downhill trail is named after Japanese folklore. Others say its named because you-will-bomb-y the downhill and want to ride it again.

      Worth riding once, it’s pretty fun to bomb but the climb to fun ratio wouldn’t make me do it again.

      Heard this might have gotten some recent touch up spring of '23.

      Good little trail for beginners to practice turns, and the ride back up is easy.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
