WHAT ELSE IS NEARBY?

VERDICT
If you’re looking for a place to hone your jumping skills, no matter what your level, then you’ve found it. With predictable take-offs and a range of different-sized jumps, most of which are tabletops rather than doubles, you’re going to have an absolute blast. The trails aren’t especially bumpy, so a hardtail or short-travel full-sus works fine here, although you’ll have just as much fun on a downhill bike.
