If you can’t ride an officially sanctioned, purpose built DH track at a purpose built DH venue like a nutter then all is lost.
I can understand having to watch your speed on a trail centre blue, or a bridlway because you may come across all types of riders and obstacles, but S2A? The trail where they fenced off all the chicken runs because too many people were getting hurt meaning you had to commit to all the drops at the top to even start? Unbelievable.
I’m pretty sure I’d be well out of my comfort zone on my very first attempt on S2A. My thought process would be more along the lines of “shitohshitohshitohshitI’mgoingtodie”, not “what would I do if a moron in a CX bike showed up around the next corner, hmmm, let me scrub some speed just in case”.
