Been learning the features on Los Gatos one at a time ...learned I need to carry a bit more speed into log roll at the bottom. Also learned there is a big thorny bush right next to the log roll....

Speed is your friend, except when you're going too fast . . . then it is not. Hope that helps.

In your defense, people jack with those log rolls all the time and you never know what shape your going to find it in until you're on top of it. Hope you ended up OK.

Yeah, in all seriousness, I always do a "drive-by" on the longer ones before attempting to ride them.

No worries, I came out of it fine. Wish I had it on video, probably would have been pretty funny on a pov cam.
