Land Owner
This is the most advanced run at Sylvan Hill. The entry jump feature is a solid 5' high rock lip, gap jump. The remainder of the trail afterwards is smooth with much more serious air required to clear the jumps. As with Bad Rabbit and Twisted Oak, you'll reconnect with Sylvan's Run for a return ride to the top of the hill for more fun.
