Hard start and a lot of route beyond that - save some gas.

3 out of 5 stars supper fun start.

Typical Jacks route, Inconsistent. If you figure out what to do through the first four bolts, you'll have the send. The rest is easy.

2 out of 5 stars cool start but...

mediocre the rest of the way. I wonder what the start would be like without the chiseled pockets.
