A Legit Black Diamond Trail. This trail is more difficult than Arcylon, Levitate, and even Tsunami. The jumps are mandatory gaps. There are no tabletops. There are no ride-arounds. One of the gaps is 25 feet to the knuckle. You need to be VERY comfortable in the air before attempting. Please be able to confidently send/clear all of the jumps on the above trails BEFORE trying Dead Reckoning.
