The steep step ups really are tough, at least for me.
jbpensacola
My first time to ride here & this was my favorite trail and arguably in the best condition today. Grippy and great flow w enough features to keep it interesting. The trail to get here is decent - Severe Consequences & after is the BMX loop that is also fun.
You can also session the best parts by taking the road back to the top.

This is definitely a run with several "blue" features like the rocky step-ups that have been mentioned. Other parts of it are beginner-friendly.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
