I hate washy sand, nothin like a tire sweeping the opposite way you turn the bars.



Agreed, our local course gets mad dusty and dry in the summer, and theres this one corner after a drop thats 90 degrees and it only has a tiny six inch high burm on it, and the other side is a bit of a drop and some greenery, on a number of occasions when trying to rail it I've blown my back wheel over the top of it and ended up going ass over tea kettle into the bushes. lol

Going waaaaay too fast into a rock garden, hitting it, and almost being kicked off the bike. It's times like those where you just need to hold on, and hope for the best.

I dont find anything wrong with that berm. The corner i cant stand is the one after the step down. They need to put a proper berm there.

yeah, its not bad, i'd still prefer it to be a foot higher though, so when your not paying attention you don't get raped, haha. and agreed, that corner is weak, I'd really like to hit the stepdown but I can never find the speed, its not very high I just don't think I'd make the gap.

They could add a foot to it. The only thing holding me back from hitting the step down is that theres no burm there, and i dont want to go flying down that hill.

haha, yeah, its kinda sketch, but apparently it sets you up better than if you hit the tiny drop beside it, whats your opinions on the hip and "triple" after it.
