Half Full Nelson - Page 2

Both are in very very good shape right now. Full rides faster, but the doubles are taking a bit to figure out. Is it a pump to a jump or a big double? Fear of casing wins most times....

Friday night about 12 cars in upper lot. No shuttling to be seen.

Ride up to Full Nelson is easier than Half Nelson. Half starts mellow, but then gets steep after the switchback. Full is more comfortably steep consistently most of the way, and much quicker (I think).

A lap of each is reasonable, followed by a Cortes Plank, Low Down, Expecting to Fly/Lower Pseuda to the lower lot and then send the fittest of the bunch up to retrieve the car.
