Has any one actually managed to ride the first bit of this yet? I foolishly tried to take it to jump a couple of places on the guys i was riding with. However, never having looked at it and going straight at it wasn't the best idea (especially on a rigid singlespeed with 1.8 tyres) I would love to see someone actually ride that top bit!

we were up there yesterday , saw a lad on a green framed bike (not sure what make)go head first over the handles bars and land pretty much head first on the lower rocks of the black section , good job he had a helmet on , he was ok , just a bit winded (and possibly embarassed as we were watching ๐Ÿ˜€

I think i was lucky by the sounds of it then, they arn't the smoothest rocks either! i genuinely think it must be about at 60 degree angle.

Stu, I've developed a high technical ability due to my local trails having some loose pebbles and a bit of soft sand twice a year.

That looks fun, might be worth a trip to over once my shoulder's better. I don't mind the rocks but the branch hop halfway down the second picture looks like a bit of a bugger.
