Description
This professionally built downhill trail is a long series of moderately sized jumps and berms. It is primarily made for downhill mountain bikers so be aware and use extreme caution if walking here! Take it slow your first time down this trail, the bike features are steep and there are some places where it will be tricky to get out of the way of fast decenders. This trail has little shade but good views. The lips of the jumps are all armored with rectangular, flat stones to keep the surface from deteriorating. There are a few nice woop-de-doos at the bottom of this trail too. The roller coaster feel of this trail is great fun.
