Description

This intermediate to advanced DH-mountain-bike-only trail is your training grounds for the Devils Racetrack. Pre-ride before you freeride, this trail builds on the skills acquired on Cruze Valley Run (Downhill), with enormous berms, step-ups, step-downs, table tops and lips. Take your time and master this trail before venturing to the top of Pappy's Peak.
