Description

This is a small skills area (near parking) where people can become familiar with the variables they might find on a MTB trail. There is a log roll, rock feature, 8" or 12" drop, wooden platform with 24" or 30" drop simulations, small pump-track with berms and rolling jumps, two skinny's and a progressive pole lillypad style feature.

Becoming comfortable with shifting weight, breaking, balance, track-stands, slow-speed maneuvering is invaluable on the real world trail. In addition having a feature that is difficult to conquer the first 10-20 times makes for a fun challenge.
