Description

Fun, short downhill that cuts a chunk off MERA loop if you're going back to Owsley trailhead. Lots of small kickers built to flat or slightly downhill landings, good berms. If you'd prefer to get home faster, it's a lot more direct than MERA Loop and has a higher grin factor.

By far the most fun way to get back to the Owsley trailhead. Bermed corners make this a super fast descent. Jumps could use landings of some kind,…
