At beginning, going off to the right is full of jumps and at the junction where both of the trails go into one, the right hand side has a 13 ft. drop in to the main trail. Going off to the left hand side involves a 10ft. wood bridge across a 9 ft. sinkhole, but is mostly flat. From the point where the two trails join, there is 100ft long section with technical a rock garden and large step down and jump at bottom. Need speed to carry through the section. Once that part is over, there are several large bumps perfect for pumping for speed then a berm to the right, very small transfer, then berm to the left. After that, it is series of large jumps that you can advoid if perferred and a high speed decline down into a berm. Be careful coming out of the berm, there is 4 weeds taller than a man that have just about the same amount of spikes as a cactus. That is where the trail ends.

Pretty thrashed without the sand pit in the usual spot. Worth at least one rip so you can judge it for yourself.
