*RIDERS BEWARE* Fire Run, Firefall, and Smoke Jump are extremely steep and loose. You will also need to hike your bike up some ~60% grade climbs to get back out. Proceed with caution.
A little fun on the top section of Skid Marks and my first gap jump on a mountain bike! Then an extra credit exploration ride turned into a survival hike. I do not see myself heading down any of the "Fire Trails" again. Maybe just stick on Like Fire. And Fire Drill.

This is a fun little add on to Los Robles Trail (Space Mountain) that we had no idea was here! Be sure to use your bell, as there are a lot of hikers in this area and the blind turns could ruin someones day.

A brand new (2022) blue jumpline in the Telluride Bike Park. As a certified non-expert myself, I found this to be a great introduction to gaining confidence with getting some air time.
