Thanks for that lengthy explanation. I think I understand what's being said, but isn't that advice contrary to the 'hit the roots perpendicular' advice most people seem to suggest?

Not really - you're just hitting the roots at 85° instead of 90° - we're not talking about a big difference. And that's assuming that the roots run directly across the trail - they might not!

Also, the bit of inward momentum is often balanced-out the slip on the roots. If you do hit them dead-straight, you may find yourself dribbling to the outside by the end of the section.

probably a jet pack - there's a 15ft drop at the far side...
