    Looks like the one described in alot of reviews. It says its extremely rocky and very technical. I was invited to go this weekend and just wanted an idea of what to expect. Most riders state they they had full armor and flat pedals.

    Honestly it is not that bad. There are a few technical sections that you can walk if need be. I find it relatively smooth compared to Dead Cow which parallels it. I believe it is 1.5 miles. You can access it from China Flats out of Cheeseboro or climb Dead Cow. Let me know if you have any specific questions. BTW I ride it on my Stumpy FSR 29er with my seat lowered 1 inch from normal and don't go any slower than I did with my SX Trail.

    Thanks for the info, we both have longer travel bikes(Bronson, Troy) and pictures are sometime deceiving. I am thinking we will do alright.

    As a fan of Troy Brosnan... :lol:

    I think the suicide part of that comes in when you're trying to pedal as fast as you can, as one might think you'd be suicidal if they couldn't see themselves physically doing the same.

    Suicide Trail? Phissssssst! Yeah, UPSed and I have railed it... :lol: maybe not as fast as the crazies...
    I was mad at those guys for not showing it to me earlier! :D

    I wouldn't make a special trip for that but if you are there to take in all the rest of the great riding then you have to go cuz I said so! :lol:
