Like he says, "Fun"! Downhillers, enjoy it for what it is. This is a very technical ride/roller coaster that has been tweeked significantly by the local riders. Every muscle will get a burn as you climb the logs, dodge the hangers, negotiate with your balance and bully your fears. Lots of roots, steep chutes, cut-backs, skinnies and beaver surprizes - one trial after another. Just clip in, cross yourself and go.

This is an original urban cog eater. Be ready to get lost on the bank of the North Saskatchewan River, even though you are never more than a half mile or so from any fast food you desire. The trail is hyper natural and sufficiently challenging for anyone. Km after Km of singletrack, sand, roots, overhanging branches, steep climbs and tight corners await. Try it one direction w/o footplanting, and then try it in the opposite direction...way harder than it looks. If you are close, or passing through, don't miss this on!
