2 mile pump track - use your entire body and the bikes speed to really enjoy the trail. Lots of side jumps, doubles and fast berms make it a trail to run multiple times to truly appreciate

East Haven has two of the best trails at the Kingdom Trails: Black Bear and Stormin' Norman. The climb up the haul road is a grind, but the descents are soooo worth it. Tons of flow and perfectly built berms. twowheeledwanderer.com/posts/best-trails-kingdom-trails

Insane flow. You're constantly floating the bike up or down, left or right.

One of the must rides when in the kingdom. The climb up is definitely worth it.
