REVIEW

The Reaper can be an extremely exciting or extremely painful depending on your abilities and your luck (kind of like life!!). As best described by Jonny Smoke from The Deep Cove Bike Shop:The Reaper is a collection of cunning stunts. There are many large drops, some wheely drops, and many long thin bridges to either ride along or fall off depending on the day. Even the best of riders can expect a big crash at some point down the trail (I have only ridden it completely clean a few times and I don't know of any riders who have ever had a completely clean ride on it-well perhaps Wonder Boy Wade or Jody from On Top).On the other hand I have also had some of the biggest crashes I have every had while riding The Reaper -- Dangerous Dan

The trail has been altered by the chainsaw gnomes. The man made structures are gone but the trail is still there.
