For me, this is an average S1 trail. Jumps appear suddenly, with significant gaps between them. There's also broken glass and other trash lying around. Not ideal. I found the trail layout tricky in places. I'd recommend bringing a spare inner tube because of the sharp rocks. Otherwise, it's awesome to be able to ride such a long trail here.

Take pruning shears. From bottom to top it is certainly not easy and with all that reed it is impossible.
