Description

Notorious B-Side is a nod to a trail in the old Hubbard Mesa trail system. Similar in character, this trail has a little bit of everything - large machine-built drops, doubles, berms and rollers along with plenty of hand-dug, twisty trail complete with a very Rifle-like gully ride.

Along the way, you can be as jibby as you want with thoughtful boulders, logs, and hips built into alternate lines in the trail.

To finish off, the trail makes a winding, short climb through a sand wash to blast over a large rock slab double before crossing the doubletrack to reconnect to the Hogback Highway. Overall, this trail is big fun!
