Its awesome, they have added some cool obsticals. Rock drops to jumps and progressive bridges, and my favorite is the tetor toder that you bike over. Crazy cool trails. Crew does amazing job, you must hit these trails. Have twilight races sometimes. Trails go around a central main trail so you can get off easily. Great job volunteers, you must go!!!

I just got back from here with my 2 sons & 2 friends. We had a blast. It was easy, hard, whatever you wanted. I will be back. Thanks to Rick & his crew for all their hard volunteer work.

I was very impressed and very tired by the time I finished. There are also some sweet jumps being built currently. Definitly heading back soon.

Lots of uphill and down hill. Tight turns and couple sweet jumps too. Great work-out for any level rider.

Jay, go past the road that is behind the Wal-Mart and past the next (tyler) the next drive to the right takes you into the trail-head at Hillside Park, where the trail is, then get on with it!

This trail really tore me up. It had a little of everything, but mostly it had switch-backs. Not unexpected because the trails are cut into about 20 acres of land. This site is good however because you don't have to see everyone else on the trail, the brush and the hills prevnt you from seeing anything but the 10 yards of trail in front of you.

There is a ton of single track packed into a small area. You never get very far from the parking lot, but it still rocks. Blast has done a great job!!!
