Is great. One question - how in the name of Zeus do you ride the entrance? If someone has a video, I'd love to see it. 

It's like my bike would need front wheel drive...

I would never have believed it without seeing that. It made it look so easy  Embarrassed 
Definitely going to have to give it a better attempt the next time I'm there.

I'd like to see someone ride those rooty gullies on the Wild Hare section. I can get down, make it cross the skinnies (just) but no way could I make it out the other side.

I used to ride; now I just drink and cry about not riding.

I agree the previous out-takes need to be shown to add some context.

The outtakes are pretty good. Mark does the "Dying Cockroach" maneuver.

Damn!  That's embarrassing!  Shocked  No CGI, Trekker.  Pure skill, luck and timing!  It's like trying to do the big log pile in Wild Hare after that hard right hand switch back.

NC_Pyga  the gullies in Wild Hare just require you keep your momentum.  We'll have to ride together sometime and I'll teach you, young padowan!  Wink

I could swear that those first two rows of logs and board were not at the base of that ramp when I rode there last Saturday. The ramp looked much steeper.

Cycle path I'd love to hook up with you to try those gullies, however I fear that it could end in misery  Embarrassed  It's scary enough going down aiming for those skinnies never mind going fast enough to get out the other side.

It is and looks steep.  I haven't changed a thing on it since we originally built it. Smiley

On the skinnies, you gotta lean back and look ahead, not down.  You will almost always go where you look!  Shocked

There seems to be some unnatural force that just pulls my eyes to my front wheel whenever I get onto a skinny   Roll Eyes  And the bigger the drop on either side the more that force pulls Tongue
