 That trail looks custom made for you -raw, rocky, and loamy. How was the park overall?

 Exactly! I am loving the 2 "expert level" trails there. They are so fun! Unfortunately, I did break 3 ribs in the GES race there this past weekend... in the section at about the 1:19 mark in the above video. This trail got really, really fast once it got packed in a bit, and I got all whompeyjarred and belly-flopped across a stump. Haha!

Regarding the rest of the park, the blues/ jump lines are fun, a bit back-and-forth and uphill in a number of spots, but fun. The greens are excellent, situated at the bottom half of the park, with lots of long sweeping corners and mellow rollers.

 Is it as flat as it looks in the video?

 It does look flat, but I think it's mainly because of the loam and me going slow. Haha!

The trail is cut into a very steep grade, with some short/ sharp traverses that are off camber. The traverses are a bit flat but are generally all downhill (exception at 3:02). When some lines get cut into the trail, and the spongy layer of loam gets torn off, it's going to be really fast!
