      I haven't ridden the top section, but below Jaws this is just steepish ruts which are neither challenging nor fun. Doesn't have anything going for it.

      Would not recommend.

      Xxx line on the left at the beginning is spicy and fun. Rest is very meh

      Did the lower part only and is prob just a fast straight grade 3. Could use the elevation so much better. Wounn k don’t do again.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
