Are you into downhill mountain biking at all?

Downhill mountain biking is a high-adrenaline sport where riders descend steep, rugged trails at speed using specially designed mountain bikes. These trails often include obstacles like rocks, roots, drops, jumps, and berms. Unlike cross-country biking, downhill focuses solely on descending, with riders usually transported uphill by ski lifts, shuttle vehicles, or hike-a-bike sections. It's all about gravity, control, and navigating challenging terrain with skill and speed.

If you're into downhill mountain biking, what's your favorite trail and route for doing it at?
