I built something kinda cool on Torrent when I was on the coast last winter, a ramp to rock roll to downramp thing, check it out if you're ever riding that trail!
Scream Machine is slowly being reclaimed by the forest, there's a couple inches of moss growing on most of the ramps, pretty cool to see the cycle...that trail is around 10 years old now as well! Somehow I have no desire to build trails around the Kootenays, but as soon as I'm back on the SSC I can't wait to fire up the chainsaw and get dirty, must be something in the water

^ Just went and checked out the rock roll.
Ran into 2 of the guys who built the trail on the way up there, and ended up riding Torrent with them. They were stoked on what you built. |

Well I'm glad it was well recieved, I built a small drop to (admittedly) kinda flat landing lower down and it was ripped out because the landing was "too flat". Pansy BS if I ever heard it.
That rock-ramp-roll thing actually gave me a concussion when I was building it, one of the stringers slipped off the rock and cracked me on the head, lots of blood and a good sized gash needing a few stitches. My buddy came up just as I was finishing the build and found me "covered in blood and not making much sense"

I was wondering what that new colored wood structure fosse in the side of the bushes near the end of the trail was about
