Fire in the Booth
Short, steep and natural. Fire in the Booth is an off piste track that splits off to the left of El Hippo for a challenging alternative route back to the carpark.
FEATURES
Start off on a fast, steep, and rocky ridge. Then g-out into two big turns, a fast straight, and drop into the steep tech. This hand-built track is all about linking the steep techy turns, and finding lines which will change on every run. Fire in the Booth has loads of off camber bedrock, natural roots and is probably the steepest part of the park.

Left-Right
Fast steep and rooty then a high speed drop into a left-Right turn that fires you out at top speed!
