TTFs on TrailDrop, Gap Jump, Log Ride, Rock Face, Skinny
This is a resurrected trail redesigned by the trail designer who brought us The Gig and others. There is a gap jump in the beginning (with a easy B-line) with a fun chute after. Next up is a gnarly rock roller after a bit of a tech climb. Stay right at the roller to bypass it. Next up is a skinny rock roller, easy enough to do, but sketchy enough to make it fun. Not long after we have another fun chute and then climb back up to the top with some techie climbing sections. Another chute brings us to a 4' drop with a 8' rock roller. The fun isn't done, though, follow along the rock ridge, along the swamp, up to another rock ridge and out.
