Running great. I’d say it’s a top 3 trail in LA now. After the recent work, I’d rate it more of black trial with some features you’ll want to walk first.

First time riding down “Valhalla”. I made it thru no crashes… but did walk down a couple rock gardens…(I need to work tomorrow) the rains did a good number on most of the single track, deep rain rut running most of the trail kinda ruining its flow and general fun IMHO
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
