Trail Overview

Rattlesnake is full of technical rocky features such as steep slick rock ramps, tall ledges, drop-offs, and big rounded boulders in the trail that you have to ride over. A couple of sections of the trail are more advanced because they are steeper, off-camber, really diagonal, or more blunt. There's one that goes straight up a giant slab with no run-in because you can't tell where the trail goes until you get there and you lose all momentum. Some of the slabs are really diagonal, so you have to be careful not to slide off of them. A lot of the obstacles you have to do from a dig, so you have to give it throttle and slip the clutch up the face of the slab, really working your body position. Be ready to throw your body weight forward and slip the clutch all the way up. You don't want to slam into them. It's a really fun challenge for advanced riders and can be combined with Ring Dike for a really challenging ride.
