If you like Whoop-di-dos, a lot, I mean like really a lot, then you will love this trail. Up and down along the mountain, but not really catching any air. There is even one spot in the middle that is the longest straight-line pump track I have ever been on. The track is mostly smooth and packed down like concrete.
