Super 8

How did the Super 8 acquire it's name?  We were scouting the drop that is in the location referred to as the 'Super 8' on the Amasa Back Trail.  The Chile Pepper Bike Shop did trail work to improve one of the drops in this area for the race they held during their annual Ho-Down celebration over Halloween.  The drop is in great condition!! 



My friends and I each had a theory about why it is called the 'Super 8.'

1. The way the trail winds around in different directions (in the shape of an 8).
2.  The height of one of the drops (8 feet).
3.  The number of drops in this area (8 drops).
4.  The number of mountain peaks you can see from this vantage point (8 peaks).

What is your theory?  Or, did you name it?  Know the person that did?  Comment on this post and satisfy our curiosity. . .or inspire us with your creativity.
