Description

Games Loop Fr/dj & Xc features 11 miles of hiking trails near Pensacola, FL.

Directions

The Games Loop trail system is on the North side of the UWF trails across Pate Rd. Go under the gate & a short trip down the fire road you'll notice to signs. On your left is the more technical FR/DJ trail systems & to the right is XC loop. Around 8 miles of XC w/ slight technical areas but nothing to hard to navigate. FR areas (about 3 miles worth of trails through jungle like terrain built by the Pensacola Dirt Devil freeride crew) consist of The Spooky Trail, a quick little downhill ladder roll in leading to berms, low ladders & skinnys bridging terrain gaps & logs. The Hip (Which is where the PDD freeriders normally hang on Sundays. They keep an eye on the Games side & are a fun bunch to watch ride or get trail info from.), has a 12' roll in to 6' - 7' high platform dirt jump & a hip launch on to Twister. Section 8 has some rollers, launches, berms, twists & turns. Area 51 which contains a few berms, banks & shelf like drop leading to a ladder tabletop jump. Descender has a roll in or a 5' drop to transition, berms, gap jump to berm & other drop points. Skunk Ape is a little on the XC vibe but fun w/ little roll ins & log obstacles exiting at the A51 tabletop area. The Playground has a number of huge drops including The Death Nail, a 25' crusty roll in, The Pungi Pit drop, a 12' drop to transition over a gap, Big John, 15' drop to transition & roll ins, as well as a double jump roller section and other interesting terrain features the FR gang seems to utilize effectively. Twister (the most technical section of the XC loop), has a huge, clay transition to wall ride, a short but fun little technical downhill berm entrance, lots of high, fun roll ins, low ladders & log jumps.
