Richter is mostly a black diamond tech trail that snakes through tight turns in the forest. While many of the runs in the Mammoth Bike Park feature wide-open sightlines and full-speed-ahead terrain, Richter slows the roll with what almost feels like east coast tech riding.
Description
Then in other spots on the trail, Richter transforms into a flow/jump line with tabletops, paver-reinforced berms, and wooden features. It's as if the builders couldn’t quite make up their minds about how they wanted to construct the trail so they just said, “what the heck, let’s put a little bit of everything in there.”
And Richter was the result.
Difficulty
Severe
Widely variable, narrow trail tread with steeper grades and unavoidable obstacles of 15in/38cm tall or less. Obstacles may include unavoidable bridges 24in/61cm wide or less, large rocks, gravel, difficult root sections, and more. Ideal for advanced-level riders.
Medium Exposure
The trail contains some obstacles such as outcroppings and rock which could cause injury.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
