Yah Ive been working on getting the top section dialed. Going faster after each run. Did 6 Gypsy runs last time I was up there. Just so much fun.

I did 6 livewire runs in a row last time I went... Went for that "one last run" before taking a break and crashed lol. Gonna be back up there end of this month though. Can't wait to hit the whole gypsy now that it's open.

The center ramp jump is pretty cool, rock section just seems kind of annoying to me, would have preferred something more flowy in that section, but whatever...

There wasn't really anything slope style ish about it..

Goes over the fire road into unflowy trail, pedal for a lame wood ramp jump that goes no where... Sure those wood ramps look cool... But that's about it - just looks... You ride over and then go down.....

Then the super unchallenging "rock road" that leads out to more loose, Unflowy trail...

It's not a rock garden so I won't call it that. Sure once again it looks cool, but that's about it.

yup, I was also disappointed by it. A lot of hype, and it is pretty "meh."

well you can shoot it straight... but it's better as a hip Smile and you can f*ckin send it if you pin in.
