At Tamarack Bike Park, twenty minutes south of the lakeside mountain town (or is it a mountainside lake town?) of McCall, some two decades of DH racers have revered trails such as Smoke Jumper. The black-diamond track plunges riders down the smooth dirt and slabby granite characteristic of southwest Idaho, with the occasional root tangle tossed in. And the optional but iconic rock rolls and drops never go out of style.
