They're not bad. Better than plowing through a weak/soft berm. These usually let you do switchbacks so fast that if you take them too aggressively, you find out [too late] that the exit narrows into the singletrack and you can fly off off the trail and onto the downslope. Good thing that they're consistent, so you can readjust for the next time you ride it.
My first run of upper twilight was slow and my bike felt like a bus, see :31-:45, and I didn't carry enough momentum to catch air off the rollers, so the rings further slowed me down. Second time riding it, something clicked, and it felt extremely well sculpted.
I guess you just need a few rides to appreciate them. They keep the trails sustainable. They're even being used outside of parks; see the Sandy Ridge trail system.
Ok stupid question...what are those pavers called? I was thinking those would be just the thing for some sandy berms on my home trails, but I can't find them anywhere.
yeahhh mike pretty stoked on the edit too, my buddies chris and eric filmed him. check out their film company Tempt Media. Like them if you enjoyed the edit
Why would he switch to specialized? Banshee gave him everything! Custom legend, custom rampant, and custom amp! Dude wth! I just bought your custom amp frame and now he changes to specialized! nothing against specialized i rode one for a few years and its all been positive. but still...
