Summary:
Great trail with the most variety of the FATS trail. Fun whoops, jumps and dips. Several short steep climbs. My 3rd favorite behind Brown Wave and Deep step in that order

Summary:
Definately some of the best trails I've ridden! I'd put these up there with Pisgah, NC in level of fun, just different. You should enjoy air time to really enjoy these trails, as they all have opportunity for spills if you're timid about leaving the ground. I rode them all (over 20 miles) simply because I couldn't stop myself. They are all off of a short connector trail from the parking lot, so I went back to the truck after each loop to get more water and GUs. A 70oz CamelBak is more than enough. I saw lots of folks on single speeds. The little amount of climbing is easy. NOT beginner trails! Ride safe and within your ability.

Recommended Route:
ALL. My "Difficulty" ratings are 3s because I don't feel they're difficult at all for the average athletic rider. That's not to say I wasn't completely beat up by the end, I was, but that was from the way we attacked the trails. Overall rating is a 5 because they were a blast! Very clean, fast rolling trails. I'll be a regular there.

Summary:
Just got back from riding up around Augusta, GA area. Yesterday, rode the 3 FATS trails. About 22 miles of riding. I rode all of them cw and started with brown wave then skinny and last the great wall. It's the most fun I've had on a bike in a long time! I really enjoy riding but the brown wave was a blast! I took it kind of easy on all the trails because I don't like to bomb a new trail....I usually end up getting hurt. I will definitly make the 3 hour drive up here to do them again!

Recommended Route:
I suggest actually starting with either The Brown wave either direction then hitting The Great Wall CCW then save Skinny for last. It's been a while since I've ridden more than 12 miles consecutively on a mountain bike...about 4 years. The Great Wall hit me at the very end. I was kind of mad that I cramped up about 50 feet from the end of it.....had no idea....lol. I wasn't planning on riding all three of them one right after the other also, but they were a blast.

Summary:
This trail is really well designed and constructed. Tons of rollers and dips that have big air potential. At times it feels like a pump track. Very little climbing as this trail takes advantage of the terrain and flows very well so you don't use your brakes a lot either. Rode the trail in a counterclock wise direction and it was a blast. Well worth the 3 hour drive from Atlanta.

Recommended Route:
Counterclock wise

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Brown Wave is a lot of fun. Skinny is one notch below Brown Wave and Great Wall on the fun scale.
