Mountain Biking Sidewinder

*****   Add a review
#44 of 388 mountain bike trails in Wisconsin
#2,119 in the world

This is easily the most incredible trail at Levis! The only directional trail in the whole system, after riding it you'll see why. The trail is artfully built with incredible features, bridges, and the EXPOSURE is epic! Most of the trails in Colorado aren't this airy! This is now a true Midwest Epic!

    Part of the Epic loop. Big exposure to near vertical drops. Still it's mostly rideable with modest skill, but for a couple spots that are a bit more tricky. Fortunately there's enough room to put a foot down. I, frankly, don't know if I'll have the nerve to try again. Scary enough to get inside my head.

    Good classic Mounds riding. The tight spaces next to the drops make it pretty intense, but once your finished you will want more!
