Mountain Biking Buck
#130 of 300 mountain bike trails in Virginia
Buck is a steep, rather techy descent off of the top of ridge. With plenty of off camber roots and sections of sharp shale to keep you on your toes, the very narrow tread and pretty serious exposure in places compound the issue and create a trail that begs to be ridden fast but demands absolute control. Be sure to watch it in the switchbacks especially!

Steep with root drops and sharp switchbacks. Better do a brake check at top. Have climbed but so much more fun down.
| ThankI loved this descent. The switchbacks were fun and the steepness was exhilarating!
| ThankKiller descent, and definitely climbable as well (but definitely not easy)
