Description

Moonshine is lumpy in places and has some rooty, technical sections - so fun to ride and in keeping with the style of Roller Coaster with a couple of sections that step it up a little.Ride it a few times and you'll start to dial in the high lines and figure out how to finess the flow from the trail.
