Vale Ave is just about the most fun you can have on two wheels Created by the Vale Inc crew in winter 2025 for their film project 'Earned Turns', the boys describe it as an experimental flow line.
There are multiple line choices and ways to ride the track - choose your own adventure! While the trail can be ridden top to bottom by intermediate riders, there are some very big and technical gap features which are not intended for your everyday rider! Scope it all out before attempting any of the gap jumps, these are expert features.
Access Info
