Description
Frank is a technical steep downhill track that will get your brakes hissing. It starts above Bank Loam with a couple of tight steep corners. (If you think these are too hard dont bother with the rest of the track). After the tight corners at the top you are going to drop into the first of three chutes. The first one has a big left hand berm to catch you. You will use it. It flattens off before the next off camber chute with a right hand berm to catch you. A little native tech then probably the most technical demanding of the three chutes. Brake control is key here. The rest of the trail flows through the native with rooty off camber section with a small drop before linking onto the bottom of The Gimp.
