A challenging descent. It is fairly steep but it's the rocks that will get you. Line choice is vital as taking the wrong one will likely end in an OTB moment (no fun on this surface). Carry a bit of speed and (generally) keep left and it is all rideable, but there is no shame in putting your foot down. (Well ...just a little) 🤣

You'll need excellent bike handling skills to get down this. Masses of large loose rocks, dips and cuts waiting to ensnare you and throw you off line, and your bike. An unattractive prospect to fall onto this surface.

To gnarly for me. I walked down!

Heels down, head up and don't be afraid of carrying speed! An absolute blast of a descent with some alternative high lines through the edge of the trees if you keep your eyes open. Which is another great tip. Keep your eyes open!
