It's definitely not a trail for the wobbly, those without flow, the faint of heart, those who like to look at the views, those without focus, riding when it's super dusty dry to wet. But it sure is fun (moreso heading west) in either direction provided you don't encounter someone coming the other way!!
Many years ago I had a small slip on that trail. scared da beJesus outa me. Since then I've known a few others to go for a slide there.
All that being said, I'm trying to biggify my nerve enough to take the gravel bike on Sideshow. Totally doable given I used to ride my old hard tail w/ 1.8" there and my gravel has 40mm.
What scares me more actually are those dirt jumps that seem to be getting bigger and sketchier. What's worse is that IF there is an incident requiring an evac... access is quite brutal.
