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.

      The black diamond rating on this trail is not entirely accurate. If you bypass the jumps they added in 2022 (which is easy to do), it's really an intermediate trail. They probably went a little overboard with the warning signs and black diamond rating because several people were injured on the jumps as soon as they reopened it. The jumps are mainly located in the same spots as before... they're just much bigger. Thats why people got hurt...they were ripping through the trail as they did before and didnt realize how much bigger the jumps were. My son (who is 12) has no problem on this trail... unlike sawtooth which is way to advanced for him. Both trails are labeled black diamond.. but for entirely different reasons. If you are an intermediate rider... avoid the big jumps and you'll be fine.

      The jumps are very small, beginner, and easy. Good first step to learn prior to visiting Cannonsburg skills area

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
