That plank gave me a concussion early this year.

Even the 1 foot planks at the end of Corkscrew are sketchy. If they weren't there, it would be safer.

And broke my best friends wrist, but I still loved riding it.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to learn to launch past the bridge!

I watched about 40 riders go by, and only two tried the line. One was on a big bike, and had just a bit of problems. The other was some 12 year old on a hardtail, and he blew down that thing faster than most riders do the trail. It will be amazing to see what the kids of today will be doing on their bikes when they hit 20.

i have a hard time with the corners on the skinny line, I don't think I can make it around without hopping the back wheel over (something I suck at). I'll bet I can RULE the 3 foot wide ramp though

That plank was a real challenge. I think I cleaned it once. My biggest beef with it was that you couldn't see the line until you were right on top of it. I'm mixed in my feelings now that its removed. I like the idea that there is an easy bail there, but I'm disappointed such a challenging stunt is removed.

Just drop it…….I used roll it now I try and drop it with the new wide ladder

a 3' wide ramp there is overkill….the origional ramp was fine where it was and just needed to be hammered in. it is the shore, which had alway been technical and hard, and that's it's beauty. I'm not saying let's keep the shore at an elite riding level, but that plank was harly an elite stunt. as for "dumbing" down the shore, which is always a discussion after a trail day, i'm fine with it when it has to do with fixing an eroded out section, or bridging over a swampy mess. but when replacing a rotted out stunt, let's build it the same as the origional, not easier.

The current ramp sux. It's way too wide [HTML_REMOVED] eliminates any challenge that little section ever had. You can still just drop it though, which I prefer anyway.

I'm quitting organized crime; from now on I'll stick to the regular kind.
