the one that almost jumped me into the forest, narrowly missing the tree on my first lap.

Hack! ;)

Great trail. Don't need to pedal once if you can pump properly in the two rising sections.

Could easily have put together a 30+ rider train last night. Never seen that much traffic on Mtn. Highway or between the 1st [HTML_REMOVED] 2nd sb. Guessing the rest of the trails last night were _nearly _empty.

that one bridge that's kind of after/in a right hand corner, almost destroyed me the other night. It was a bit slick and I 2wheel drifted like 10ft along it. I went slower the next time.

Is there a Vancouver in Taiwan?! I had no idea!!

Nothing sums up my life's achievements like my stuffed corpse, suplexing a cougar.

You guys should put a counter on it ASAP!

No better way to show the benefits then the numbers.

Looking to ride the shore but don't know where to go?

Krikem was busy full of bunnies last night, but we did all eventually end up on Bobsled. The herd I was shepparding was 12 deep.

Sharon, a counter would be a great idea.

props!:clap:

We built that little Berm yesterday so it wouldn't be a flat corner anymore.
Some adjustments are required and I will work on it this evening after work.

And yes fixing the trail is ok. As long as its done properly I don't see a problem. Thanks for the help!
I'm stoked people are enjoying the trail.

The new Bobsled is an fantastic trail and it is nice to have something different on the shore. Endless thanks to the trail crews on Bobsled,the BP and other trails! I'm a die hard fan of the slow technical gnar but fast and flowy is a great change of pace. I think it would be much more enjoyable on a shorter travel bike.. not a giant glory. Take it easy though the trail can be really fast but don't get over your head though cause you might do what I did and scrape the hell out of your arm and rip your new jersey:P

oh the death and carnage! Vandeman and MC will definitely be sending that in as evidence of how dangerous this trail is.

(that's a joke you two!) This is part of the ride. Lighten up.

^^^^ was that on the first bridge?

the only bits i would say need fixed were that tight corner after the little rock drop which it seems has been done already :) and the last corner which is just flat and loose.

Right after a little drop near the end, It was one of the last big right hand berms to a flat-ish section about 15/20seconds from the end. I totally washed out after surviving the berm and went right into a hole that was dug out for dirt and basically hit the one big rock in the area with my right bicep. Fun times!!!!!!! Then I went up and rode Oilcan :D
