Description

A straight forward descent that meets up with more technical terrain. Head left at the intersection for an easier exit to Main Street or hang a right onto Out of Gas for a gnarly drop in and a lung busting climb out.

Intersection of Out of Gas and Lower Backside - the descent is definitely doable but recommend you scout your line first

This is probably one of the best trails in the valley now. Has some rowdy-ness without any stupid built up features.

Great bit of track. Tight and loose. Back to back to back tight corners to smash; all of it natural with little support. Has a rowdy flavor to it.
