oops sorry... i think we have different definitions of crazy...

but yes. it's new stuff. super long log ride with crazy turns that you have to kind of hop/nose manual to make. :) and there are two new drops where your pic was.

I bail evertime on that last corner. My only guess is you have to pull a short nose manual and tailwhip at the same time to make the corner. Ill get it one day.

Its pretty cool to have stunts that are very difficult but wont brake your legs if you fall off. kudos to the builders.

That's some cool stuff up there.

I may give the new log a try the next time I get all the way up to CBC, and assuming I don't phsyc myself out by the time I get to it. The only "problem" for me now is that I like a little warm up before hitting stunts. To leave the mushroom lot, then hit stunts right away doesn't agree with me.

Great work, though! I especially love getting back up to the Shore after riding other areas for a bit. Nothing beats the Shore...

I love that part in the pic, not to sound like i'm knocking ne1 but the only new part I can see in the pic is the rock crib, other then that it's the same as it was last july. I've got a pic on my desk looking straight up from the from the bottom of that section, the crib is there but it's beat. I don't find that section all that crazy either a ton of fun but not crazy, it all in the perspective.

That's what I love about our sport so much, one day a section of trail you thought was crazy and undoable turns to just being difficult but fun.

the new stuff is further up from the pic.

The rockwork is more built up now, and there's a little drop just out of frame so you can get enough speed to hit the drop now.

Not anymore you don't Jarrett. Props to watching you clean it without the nose manual but with three very well calculated tail hops - it was nice to witness. :D

Good work on that trail, w/o a doubt.
Is there a pic of CS log that anybody can PM me? I was too much like a kid in a candy store to remember many of the names. I think I was 0 for 2 if it's the line I'm thinking of.
:lol:
