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
