Trail Description:
This is a downhill trail that requires skills and balls to do. We are trying to get some downhill pros to come and ride it like Shaums March, Brian Lopes, Palmer and others. There are other nearby trails that are easier and there is also good cross country trails nearby for those who like to climb. Face was built by Richard Lancaster who rides for Mountaincycle and we all love it a lot!

How to get there:
Take HWY 101 south toward Santa Barbara and there will be turnout for trucks. It is just up the hill.

These directions are intentionally vague.

Additional Notes:
Bring all downhill protective gear!

Trail wasn't the easiest but it was fun ! video production

can't be that hard to find. from the videos it looks like you just find an alternate way down rollercoasters (or something to the east of it). I haven't been there (yet) but just from what I've seen from vids today I'd recommend getting bombers down before even attempting it, though. looks tough. and to you guys trying to keep it "secret"... those are humorous attempts and get off your high horses. i've seen so many whimps out on the grade in full DH gear and DH bikes hitting shooters like it's hard. HA HA. let 'em learn a lesson, who knows, maybe they'll get better!

Great trail, if people actually rode it, it wouldn't be so overgrown. Where your gear, pound a beer, have no fear! AJ your Gay!

Dirtworld, don't try to get people to ride this trail. It's a local spot and we don't need a bunch of people screwing it up for everybody by getting in over their heads and having to be airlifted out. This trail is no joke, the gnar factor is beyond anything else, and if you eat it, you will get hurt, badly. There is another trail nearby that is described as "baby Face" it's known for being one of the most challenging DH trails in the area. Face makes it look like a paved bike path. anybody who wants to ride it needs an invite and a guide, cause you won't find it otherwise

It's interesting to see the way the trail has changed over time. The comment by Jimmy does not take into consideration what the trail was like when it was built years ago. many lines have been changed over time to make the trail easier, safer, and more rideable (the pu$$y crack, the original face line, ect.) the trail is well-broken in now and flows much better than it ever did. equipment has gotten way better, as well. some of the first full runs down this trail were on cross country hardtails, seats lowered, flat handlebars, ect. and no protective gear beyond a xc helmet and jeans. no sense in getting arrogant on your posts jimmy, some people should really just stay off this trail.
