My initial thought was go back with a shovel knock the bugger down then start again, but then it is somebody else’s work, and it’s not too polite to just demolish somebody else’s efforts.
The tree looks to have fallen of its own accord, due to being rotten and having probably been done in finally by frost, I actually have no problem with the kicker where it is, the principle of “Natural trails” being build/shore them up with what you find locally using the terrain and fallen trees as you find them. The trouble is it it’s obviously stopped riders using the line as evidenced by the skid marks on the run in to it and the lack of tyre tracks leading on after it it’s a bit of a big bike only feature in the middle of a bunch of quite HT friendly trails…
It’s uneven and rough meaning you’d need to carry more speed in to have a change of getting over it, it’s also too steep and has a chuffing great log shoved in the top which would boot you up the arse sending you too high and too long to ever get settled properly for the drop 10 ft further down the trail. It also lacks a chicken run/rollability for learners which most of the other stuff on these trails has; I do prefer to see some consideration given to those with fewer god like skills and monstrous travel bikes
As it was the trail was good but you probably had a touch too much thinking time before the drop, a nice shallow kicker over the fallen tree would be fine and add a little something extra to an already good line IMO, it’s just a crap bit of building, would I be out of order “Re-working” someone else’s trail work? I’m coming round to the idea of changing it…
