Alright, that high line is not going to go easy for me.

Was half a crank away from bagging the OSin high line.  Will conquer tomorrow if we don't have forest fires raging from the thunderstorm dropping tonight and tomorrow.

The OSIN Oakley Sender's were seeming built in minutes.  I think they're good to go now.

The new bottom LCO section looks all-time.  You'll go high this year and merge with Family-X.

Is Fatcrobat the most braided trail on the mountain?  I feel it should be referred to as the Fatcrobat Area.  I still haven't done Triple Hump and I feel shame.  I bet it's easier than trying to go around.

I think they have done some work on the line rider's right of the triple hump, as last time I went thru it didn't bounce me around as much. Much smoother than before it seemed. Must be doing some major work on Smoke & Mirrors & Lower Joyride, as they have been closed for awhile now. Last time thru S & M it had more than a few loose & missing rungs on the ladders. Hope for some rain, but no fires.

I rode Fatcrobat for the first time last weekend, fun trail and yeah lots of line choices to say the least haha. I think there was some new dirt on it too.

I also haven't sacked up to the Triple Hump... it doesn't look too bad but I just default to the right line every time. Maybe tomorrow... hoping the rain is tacking stuff down nicely right now?

I only rode the morning today.

Dirty rock roll had its hole patched.  Bline was getting significant work under the chair.

I hope Aline got some love later in the day.

Mid ALine was getting beat by the love baton this morning.  God I hope they make it to the EZ bridge.

The new final bit of LCO is looking amazing and done.  If I were to guess I'd say we'll be riding it this week sometime.

All lies. ALine is absolutely terrible. Don't even go look at it. 

Trust me.

So I heard from a patroller that a certain wizard employed by WBP foresaw an issue with the final LCO jump. It's currently branded with a Proline badge, after being open for 30 minutes. Not sure if it's going to see another set of tires over it or if it's going to be reconfigured... I did not get a chance to test it out, and it sounds like it may have been for the best.

Looks like they're putting in a speed bump under the log boner (instead of that long sender).  The big guy is untouched. There is a go around..

I got all that info about that line when I asked a patroller if jump building was more art than science... which leads me to the Oakley Stepup island or whatever the hell its called. That small option needs so little speed I have to assume many land that one to flat.

Glad I don't have to make those decisions or be the guinea pig.

I am sad my body can't do 40,000. Conditions are silly.

I also need to say.. that jump I was a bitch about in Aline zone three is fucking fun right now.

If only there was some sort of dirt cement we could mix in to the worst berm offenders.

While I'm at it, jumps that can be raised and lowered as per trail conditions should be researched too.  Maybe we could tap the stoke of visitors as an energy source.

All speculation about LCO aside, that jump isn't part of the actual race course. Finish line is in the finish line area, as per usual.
