This is a great jump flow trail, with some good size gaps. Many of the jumps require good speed and several are in succession. Best to take a look at the jumps first. Everything is rollable or has a bypass. So you can easily check everything out before. Then pedal hard into the start and let her fly.

You need good speed and you need to hit each jump to make the next one. To make all the biggest gaps, takes expert level jumping skill
