Its pretty good right now not ridden to often by the looks of things. I hiked up the trail and cleared all the branches and twigs and rocks off the trail all the way up and on the roller coaster type skinny before the gap over the ladder one of the stringers had cracked in half so i proped it up with a rock and made it sturdy i dont know what its like now though could possibly be broken. But for the most part every stunt is rideable and smooth although the coaster drop is a little rough these days just tough it out. Have fun riding it its still a good rip and one of the best trails on the mtn.:rocker:

thanks for cleaning off the trail. it might seem like a little thing but it keeps crap from gumming up drains and acting as a hazard for riders coming down (and it saves us from doing it).
when you find broken structures, it'd be appreciated if you could e-mail the area rep for the woodlot at woodlotbuilders at gmail.com. it might not get fixed right away, but we'll at least know what needs to be fixed up, asap.
cheers

You're a f**** Rob. Better?
Just trying to encourage the kids to take an interest in the trails. And Porkchop and his buddies come out to most of the trail days, which is better the 99% of the people who ride up there.

Oh, don't worry, there'll be a lapse when someone pulls a boner (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pull+a+boner). Definition added to keep DaveM's imagination racy.

Drove out and rode it today and it was cush. Perfect conditions - nice and tacky. Finished off with a little H&J. Does anyone else have trouble with the gap over the log there? Can't seem to get my head wrapped around it. Must have done 10 run ins and still wouldn't go. Whatever, it's on the "to do" list. Thx to the builders out that way for creating such a fun trail

yeah I havnt hit it yet either the lips of the set ups are super sketch right now because the logs are harsh sticking up at the top of them and it kicks your rear wheel up when your trying to speed jump them.
