Longest loop at Merrell which will keep you smiling as you crank up the hills or fly down the jumps. It was rebuilt in 2022 to feature aggressive jump lines while keeping the option to roll or bypass the jumps. It was shortened to allow for an easy return to keep looping as many times as you want.

Be mindful and follow the Pre-Ride, Re-Ride and Free-Ride approach to the trail since jumps are technical.
