Description

Marvin's is super fun. It flows, it rolls, and it connects to so many more trails. There are plenty of small tricks to ride, if so inclined....log bridge, mini-bobsled, big rocks, and a narrow passage between trees. No worries, you won't find yourself on these tricks, unless you choose to be on them. Have fun.
