Finished (I guess) work on the skinny. Ended up covering most of the log and just creating a new feature from it. You can't tell from the picture, but the last five feet or so is still riding the log itself.

I think it's fun, and flows reasonably well with the trail. Best approach is to hit it pretty fast, drop off the end of the log, turn right then pick up speed for the dip into the gully.

PS: To the young woman riding out there solo yesterday, kudos to you! At this so called "sketchy" place I was probably the most threatening thing out there.  Roll Eyes

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
