i did last time its really fun and technical with a few stunts. theres also like a eight-foot high logride but it has nets on the sides so its not that scary. you should try it next time if you like the north-shore style type trails.


yeah but i've seen photos of a huge drop that you hit coming around a corner and never knew if i should try it...

i rode clown shoes once, never again, haha, that trail was really gnarly. theres like a rockface that drops off 5 feet into a 90 degree corner, its crazy, haha. and the drop has a humungo rock in the landing, so go far if you do it

oh alright. ya you should hit clown shoes next time just go around the drop. i really hope i dont go during crankworxs this year, because i did last year and it really hard to get some runs in. way to busy and lots of spectatres in the way of the line up.

"Jay Robinson, Ken Marlor and Marty Gautry will firing up the mini excavators to start peeling back the neve from A-Line and Crank it Up with the intent of having those two trails clear by opening day."
