    Tips

    September 5, 2024

    This section or this direction is all climbing on switchbacks. They are no banked corners and ride speed was very slow. I was not keen on this section, the cornering offers no confidence and just makes you feel like the bike would not handle them very well, they make you feel very twitchy. Banked berms are far superior to these berms and more enjoyable

      Some tight corners but great fun
