Description

This is a downhill trail built for speed with jumps, technical sections, switchbacks, high berms and a CULVERT. Nothing but fun on this trail, no need to find a hill to get your heart pumping - just run this thing as fast as your heart can handle, then hit the Culvert and hold on for the ride.

You'll catch air on this ride without using the jumps along the trail. If you choose to use the jumps you'll catch A LOT of air! Frankly I was having all the fun I could handle on the "normal" trail, for you who love the edge, you can find it here. The only thing that would make this ride better is more of it.

If you want jumps and drops there are plenty of options, but there are abundant lines for those who prefer to fly downhill and skip the air. Sep 9, 2014

Love this trail! Wish I had a bike that was a little beefier so I could bomb it a little more, but it's super fun - would be on a BMX bike even! Nov 9, 2015
