Smooth Operator Map

Smooth Operator is an expert jump line filled with large tabletops, elevated wooden features, wall rides, hips, and much more. To keep the speed high, every corner features a berm to help riders rail at top-speed. Many of the tabletops, especially lower down the mountain, are quite formidable, requiring expert-level jump skills to clear comfortably.

Description

Be sure to scope the features on your first run through, as several of the hits lead to significant gaps and drops.
