It's probs nothing just a little 10-20cm thing after the secon last berm soz if it sounds like I'm complaining it's a bloody awesome track and thanks for putting in the effort to do it. It could be for drainage whileits been raining or something but yeah it looks kinda like a Z. Soz it's hard to explain well I wouldn't mention it just we have no clue as to why it's there and it's pretty much right where u land

haha, yeah unfortunately mate... that stuff is there to make it tricky. They will mellow out in time, but there has been discussions of wacking some rocks and the likes in there, just to mix it up a bit more. Keep it pinned through that berm up top, and jump out nice and high and you'll smooth it out. As they say, practice makes perfect...

yeah, someone ripped out the stumps and roots we had in there, so that sucks a bit. But all in all is holding up well. Since the berms have been fixed up though you can carry alot more speed in there though.

Full downhill bike is not needed, but pretty handy to hit it all pinned. That being said alot of the local boys hit it nice and quick on the varying arrays of hardtails.

Did some realignment this arvo with clint and james (haha should have been there trenno!). The first big berm on the middle track has finally gotten its much needed love, so it actually fully points where it should go now. Some more drainage has been added where needed, and some of the other berms and ruts have had some minor modifications and smoothing to keep the trail running smoother, but still keeping it pretty tech to hit fast.

The spiked stump has been found and returned to its original position, so thanks for pulling it out whoever did, but it was a pain in the ass finding it again, so just man up and don't rip it out again and hide it. Bottom line is, if you don't know the diggers, don't change their tracks ay....
The jump/berm thing into the tech section has also been returned to its original state, plus some more work onto the berm, so its running nicely now and kicks you out higher and further (which is needed so you don't front wheel scorpion dive the root feature).

I'll hassle trenno to put some pics or vids up soon.
