Continue off double black to the bottom of the mountain. This is a twisty and technical trail with roots and a few natural rock drops. There's a portion with mild ravine exposure. It's a lot of fun for the adventurous rider seeking some excitement without an epic climb. There's plenty of gnar, a great bouncy rhythm and loads of cheap thrills along the way.
