What do you like?

Jump lines so so good, good variety of mini dh trails, some real fast sections with great trail creativity. 

What could be improved?

End of red, no.17 I think ooks like it's built by a toddler, couple of corners and features near to end of blue don't work.

Great and free!

Don't forget this is free to use.  I personally think there is enough for everyone.  Don't forget to take your crap home with you.

What do you like?

Free and lots of good runs.

What could be improved?

Just the amount of rubbish left behind is a little disappointing.

Would you recommend?
