Came back later and took the lefthand trail after the metal cable.....all I can say is that has gotta be a full on Pro DH course!
Got three runs on 1Eo1 top to bottom, thats a great ST trail. Found a trail in Knickerbocker cyn. thats really nice too.

The trail to the right of the cables is upper Fall line. The banked trail was lower Fall Line perhaps? Couldnt tell you what the other trails were called.

PM sent.

I took a friend of mine up there and she killed it for her 1st time riding in Big Bear....she even made an attempt to roll the logs(ones w/ the straps) on her 2nd run....

Lotsa girls up there riding, was kinda surprised. One girl on a Chumba just embarassed us as we walked a short section of Steep DH rocks and turns somewhere near Dicks trail I think?

FWIW, that trail marked hiking only at the bottom of upper Fall Line apparently isn't closed to bikes. I was talking to a more local guy up there (he knew all the lift guys, so I don't doubt his information too much) and he said that it was just some hikers closing down the trail on their own.

The banked trail is most likely lower fall line. Of course, i don't recall too much banking on it. more rock gardens and hairy off camber turns.

pirates is a little ways down the fire road. you hang a left up a steep little incline and follow the single track. at the fork, left takes you to lower fall line, right takes you back to the road.

I know that there's a second singletrack section branching off the road, but I couldn't find it for the life of me.
