“Bobsled is a blast! It flows downhill nicely with a lot of small jumps, some table tops, and a few gaps. ”

Description

Bobsled trail runs between Forest Road Loop/Sidewinder and Forest Road Loop/Sky Mountain Trail (WS02 )from the SE to the NE. Expect a nice downward flow with a lot of small jumps, some table tops, and a few gaps. Not too steep or fast, you can go at it at your own pace and build some confidence in your jumping skills.
