Mountain Biking Drop Shaft

  Add a review
#1,383 of 1,383 mountain bike trails in Colorado
#36,673 in the world

Drop Shaft is "the flagship bike-only, downhill trail" in the new Virginia Canyon Mountain Park trail system, according to Matt Miller. At 2.6 miles long and with roughly 1,200 feet of elevation loss, this may be the longest jump trail on the Colorado Front Range outside of a bike park.

"Drop Shaft turned out to be a little more right of center on the beginner to advanced spectrum," wrote Miller. "It is wide and flowy, with seamless rock kickers tucked away here and there, with drops and senders of all sizes, and many tabletop jumps." The trail also includes several impressive wooden features, including a wallride.

Drop Shaft was built by Flow Ride Concepts, which is renowned for its trail work across the region. The Colorado Mountain Bike Association (COMBA) leading the ambitious Virginia Canyon project, and more trails are on the way.
