Dirt merchant sure seems to have changed. The lips seem much steeper. Also at the top there is a table, step up, table step up and then a fade away drop that kicked everyone in our group super nose heavy. Am I on crack?
The lips are definitely steeper, in particular the one before the first big right-hand berm (just after the first set of jumps), and the one around the next corner after the step down.
I'll echo that. A bit too lippy for my skills, but that rock drop was something else!

yep, both of those are a little funky. just let go of the brake and hang on? i always ditch speed for them and meet the knuckle
I'm not a fan of the new lip on the lone jump after the first s-curve.
Thanks for the heads up guys :lol: Now I'm scared!
oh good. i got absolutely schooled by 8 year old nephew on the weekend. now I can blame the change in the take offs since I last rode them. yeah that's what I'm going with

thanks for the info everyone.
that step up in the first straight after the corner in DM, just throws me straight. and on such a weird angle… i dunno why id like to blame my bikes suspension, but it could be my skills…
did a couple of laps of garbo yesterday. was rad. i cant believe how much its dried out. a few manuals through some streams, and slow ish in the top left me pretty clean and dry. then went into freight train on one lap then turned into side track/renegade on another lap. renegade had that rocky damp corner that was slick the rest wasnt too bad. heard rain last night so dont quote me on those conditions today
Can you take the gondola to the top yet? It's a deciding factor on when I go… Definetly not walking from the fitz to Garbo chair..

Classic.
SUPER wet in the morning. Never been so muddy in my life and half our crew looked like drowned kittens but after 2 o'clock it stopped raining and Dirt Merchant and A-Line were AMAZING. Even Joy Ride and Rock City were in good shape all day.
If tomorrow is not raining it's going to be mint. A few greasy spots but overall great on the lower part of the hill.
