A trail of two halfs. Starts off with some of the easier jumps in the compound and then crosses a forestry road into a rough and raw tech section. After top section it is possible to carry on the road to join up with the lower section of Smoker. Built with the help of a Speciliazed and Trail Fund dig day.

Very steep, technical trail where good brake and speed control is required. Very exposed and there are consequences for coming off the trail, it is advised to inspect this trail before riding. If you cannot ride the entrance and first corner then this track probably isn't for you. First half is very steep then becomes flatter at about half way while remaining technical. Merges with Primo just before the bridge crossing.

Uses part of the old exit of Heavymetal and new digger built track to get onto a forestry road that runs up to the start of the trails.This trail is a first link of a planned all weather family loop the club has planned with pro trail builders.

One of the best trails in the forest. Fast with lots of bumps to pump or boost. A bit of a climbing on the way out after merging with Ninja.
