The newest trail being built out at Area BFE will be named Dropkick. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and voted in the poll in the other threads. We think that Dropkick is an appropriate name for a moderate to difficult trail. Hopefully we will soon be adding a much more extreme route from Dropkick to the top of the ridge, and we are planning on naming it Rage Against the Machine. We have also completed a connector route from the midpoint of Dropkick, down to LockJaw, and back into the lower part of Dropkick, which is called "S&M" (for Stevens and Molter, named after me and my friend Jim who are building the trail).
As of now, Dropkick is cleared and marked from the Strike Ravine wash (downstream a bit from Britney) to a narrow ledge above Lockjaw. This ledge will require some rock removal to safely negotiate. Once past that point, the trail will wind its way around on top for a bit before finally connecting back into Strike Ravine just opposite Green Day. The trail is moderate as of now, with some nice obstacles and plenty of options just waiting to be made. There is also some loose dirt and rock climbs that could become much more difficult over time.
