This is a CAT 3 trail that is fun and challenging (especially without lockers). It's hard to tell from this video, but there are big holes an boulders at the top, along with tree roots that provide no traction, and force you into spots you don't want to be. Finding traction and the correct position at the same time is the key. This wasn't my best attempt, but I still made it through without a spotter or any trail damage. The straight exit is known to take out mirrors and rear quarter panels. I've gone out there before, but lately that section is so dug up that I can only seem to exit to the left - which is hard in and of itself.
