Description

As it's name suggests, it is a garden or rocks (if you can call it a garden). This is a very tricky bit of trail to ride. Some of the drops are large with no consistent line to them meaning if you're not carrying enough speed the rocks at the base of each drop will bring to a quick halt and if you're carrying too much speed you're likely to hurt yourself - and remember you're in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone coverage.
