TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

first off, the downhill on this trail is epic. awesome banked turns, great jumps scattered around and some real good chances to get crazy. the only bad part is finding the trail after going up hill forever. me and my friend ended up on the tahoe rim trail trying to find the start of the downhill. but overall this is an awesome trail and i highly recommend it.

I haven't done the loop here, but the downhill. AKA Kamikazi downhill, Rose downhill. This downhill is very technical with banked turns mild jumps scattered. Rock banks, drops and rock fields. There are a few tree rides scattered in there. Someone spent some hard hours on this downhill to make it so good. Later in the season the sand can be a pain but overall great. Don't expect to hit this trail without going down at least once. I would invest in some knee/elbow guards and definitely wear a helmet.
