Got my new bike on Tuesday and have been dying to try it out. Rain, rain and more rain has kept me from riding but I couldn't help myself anymore. Here is my trail report as of tonight.

Ivy: Puddles most of the way through, I would avoid this trail

Sprinkler Hill: Good condition, sand is packed and it is riding well

Horseshoe: Good condition with the exception of the 2nd bridge (the one with the grip tape) it is under water and the other side after you ride off it has about 2 feet of water that you have to ride through.

Trail up to Puff: Standing water the whole way

Puff-n-Stuff: 75% of the trail on the way in is under water. 6"-12" of water. The back side is great.

Short Trail After Puff: Standing water at the entrance. Good other than that.

Cruddy Buddy: Lots of the low spots are under about 6" of water, I rode the road most of the way.

Baby Beast: Great Condition

Snake Ridge: Great Condition, good fix on the puddle spot who ever did that.

Sneaky Snake: CAUTION.....The drop in has a rut about elbow deep and about a tire in width. Stay right or you will endo.

Trail after Snake Ridge to Rope Swing: Wet, some standing water

Little Humper: Did not ride

Fingers: 1st is good, did not ride 2 or 3

Roller Coaster: High line is great!

Big Mamma: Skipped

Little Blue: Wet, not bad though

Spector Sector: Pretty good condition

Trail up to last trails: Actually Dry, no standing water

Baby Beast and Moe: Did not ride, prolly bad though

I rode on Monday,


Little Humper is great, except the exit the end of the wood bridge is under water.( be aware ,gator noises around)

After little humper i think is black forest, is bad, the back section is well underwater.

2nd finger the back drop is rough.

Big mamma fairly good.

bike with floaters Priceless.
