THE "SKILLS
ZONE"
Beginners and expert riders alike are
trying their luck at the new skills area located in the
parking lot behind the kiosk. Phase I of this area
includes 2 skinnies, one at 8" and one at 12"
wide . While both are of a reasonable height, each one
possesses it's own challenges. Also found in this area is
a 3 prong jump/drop stunt ranging from 1.5' to 3.5' high.
This solidly built stunt will inspire confidence and have
you flying in no time. Phase II will include longer
bridge sections, teeter-totters and other tricks to keep
you coming back. Phase II completion date has yet to be
set.
(see pics below)
Main Trail starts at the kiosk,
located at the lower half of the parking lot. This trail
will
give riders access to every trail and blast you
through the "ravine" and take
you by
"Hucksville".
Hucksville is home
to some of the biggest and coolest hucks/drop around. We
have multiple
drops/jumps for the extreme riders to
try. There is a gap jump, gulley drop, the
original
drop or huck(your choice) and the Fatire drop. To total,
there are five options
for defying gravity. Good luck!
Allen's Trail is the first loop off of the
Main Trail. This is a "difficult" rated trail
with lots
of short ups and downs and serves as a
great warm-up for the advanced rider.
The
"Clayton Shore" is at the outer most bend and
gives daring riders over
150' of elevated stunts to
try their luck on.
Short Loop/Long Loop are the original trails
in this system. Low land riding along the
Sims Creek,
several boardwalk section and a couple of climbs
to
keep you honest. Trail features technical rock garden,
multiple
log stacks and various rock obstacles for
play spots on these loops.
All of the above mentioned
trails and considered to be the "lower trails".
Trail rating is "easy" to "moderate".
Harvey's Pond is the first trail in the group
of trails, know as the "upper trails". The loop
rides
along Harvey's Pond and serves as a climb
reliever to the "ravine".
Trail rating is
"moderate".
Little-Big Horn is located at the southern
most end of the Main Trail. Trail features lots of
rolling single track with log stack and a bare-back log
ride.
Trail rating is "moderate".
Larry's Loop is located at the outer most
point of Little-Big Horn and is also at he highest
point of all the trails. This is the other
"difficult" rated trail and features off-
camber sections, narrow bridges and hard climbs to
toughen the challenge.
Magnolias Run is the longest of all the upper
trails and like Little-Big Horn was built to
be
ridden from the top down. Trail features bench-cut
contour riding, several fast
downhill sections and a
double switchback climb. Trail rating is
"moderate".
No trail has a mandatory
direction, riders can ride any trail in any direction.
