Description

This is a bike-only, directional downhill-only, black trail with nonstop features. There are jumps, berms, wood features, and rock gardens to play with. It is steep and fast, so make sure that everything is in good working order before you drop in.

There are go-rounds on most features, but definitely be sure that you are comfortable with speed/flow/jumps/tech.
Don't be that guy.

There are several options to add on or cut short this trail. You can loop the upper section if that is your favorite, or you can loop the lower section, which is quite different from the top.

You'll definitely encounter riders of all abilities and there are limited places to safely get out of the way if someone is gaining behind you. If you are a stronger rider, definitely give a big gap before people in front of you. If you are more cautious or just checking out these amazing trails, be aware that people really fly down these trails.
