Rode this track for the first time on Saturday, and as a bit of newbie, I was extremely thankful for the sign-age, otherwise I would've felt really lost - great job in setting this all up. Such a great place to ride!

haha.. get a hardtail! but seriously, depends on your skill level as well - if you just getting back into it after a long period, something basic is good to brush up on your skills and really finding out if you want to spend a decent bit of money on something more advanced is well worth it...

How do I move it to the correct section?
