What do you people believe is the easiest jump trail to hardest jump trail. I think it goes like.

bline - ciu - blue velvet - sidetrack - aline - freight train - DM - D1 - boneyard!

Why does it matter?
DM is easier than freight train though. Also you forgot crab hits.

ciu is crank it up. And heart of darkness has two jumps and is right after ciu so it does not count.

And you are probably right about Dirt Merchant and Freight Train.

it depends really what you ride, Freight Train is more downhill than DM, and DM is more like a iguess you would call a bike park trail. The only slightly hard bit in DM is the step up after the drop, first run down that caught me out and i mega cased it, second run i was fine.

The trails are designed to not be overly difficult. I'd say Dirt Merchant is harder than Freight Train, because I can't think of a single mandatory drop (or gap for that matter) on Freight Train, and Dirt Merchant has that 3 footer before the Step Up.

Has anyone here gapped over that drop like in Follow Me? Looks pretty scary and high consequence if you clip the drop bad though
