36th Chamber -> Rainmaker Map

36th Chamber is renowned as Trestle Bike Park's most difficult jump trail. It's home to the biggest jumps with the steepest lips, which require full commitment to clear. This massive trail "features 10 jumps ranging from 20 feet in length to more than 35," according to MTBParks.com. This jump line is truly expert-level.

Description

In order to work up to 36th Chamber, you'll need to spend some time working on the Rainmaker Trail to make sure you can clear those jumps first. However, for this logical top-to-bottom run, you'll begin with the massive hits on 36th Chamber before funneling into the top of Rainmaker.

Once onto Rainmaker, you'll begin with the smallest tabletops—which might feel a bit strange after the massive sends up above.

The majority of the jumps on Rainmaker are tabletops that are quite forgiving. Many of the jumps also provide two lip options so that you can tailor the amount of send that you desire.

In the upper reaches of the trail, the jumps are fairly rounded and flowy, offering a great warm-up section. As you descend, the jumps generally continue to get bigger and bigger. Lower down, several of the jumps have downright massive lips and gaps. While generally speaking, these jumps aren't technically doubles, on the biggest of jumps, you'll really want to clear it and nail the landing. On these large jumps, even the "small" lips are still pretty damn big!

Combining 36th Chamber and Rainmaker creates what's by far the toughest—but arguably, best—jump run on the mountain!
