These are them. Called the Top Secret Trails. All downhill for days. Fast as hell, huge gaps, steep lips/landings. A-game only. No warm up either. The first hit is called Snake River, and it is a 22 foot stepdown hip. The landing is sniped out hard. It is steep as hell, and about a bike length and a half long.
I almost pissed myself the first time i dropped in here. Scury big.
These trails are brought to you by the same peeps that built the Woodward West trails. Except these trails make the WW big line feel like a little girls line.
As most of you know, pictures do no justice to these trails.
Only the most hardcore of builders, are aloud to ride here.
You have to crawl threw a fycking jungle to get here. Mos def the most hidden trails you will ever not find.
Enjoy.

those look extremely well built and maintained. way out of my league, but it definitely must be awesome to just to be there and see guys throw down on those jumps.

Holy sh!t! Haha... is that a squirrel catcher clothesline? Is it really necessary? Looks to be about a 20' gap just to get to it.

jeezus. the anti-poaching cable looks deadly.

nice work, but way way way outta my league. EDIT: in terms of building or sending. K-raist!

I was thinking the cable might be to level out the jumps? They all look super flat on top, maybe they all line up at a certain angle or something?

Ya, not sure the anti-poach devise is really neccessary, you'd need a parachute to bail on one of those if you effed it up.

Zach, you've been getting some press over the past couple days. Eastern front (twice) & Transitions.

I like to see the cables - that should be a requirement at any decent trails.

That place is too nuts. The gaps are obviously "meaty" but are the landings on the narrow side? If that's the case, it can make that place even more tough. I can't wait to see the vid you guys are producing just for this footage alone.
