TTFs on TrailDrop, Skinny, Wallride
Fast, technical downhill with an optional ladder drop. Gets pretty steep in some sections.
Access Info
Starts from brake through and drops to the fireroad at shotgun. Pipeline is about a third of the way down.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
Most adaptive riders will be completely fine on this trail, even though it's a double black. There are ride arounds for everything. For riders with front wheel drive, there is one steep little ramp over a log you might need a push over. Thats what makes this trail aMTB2. There will be a lot of sliding around in the kitty litter too. Access via Brake Through and the Flow Fall-Line Shortcut. The sort cut kinda sucks -- Its steep and loose -- but if you don't take it, you'll up on an exposed section of Brake Through where you will need a spot.
