That was so rad. 4 or so years and I finally conquered that line. Looks easy in the vid, but check it out for yourself next time you ride La Costa...

Thanks Jeremy and Pete for spotting and thanks Harley for the vid! :bang: :bang: Stoked!!!!!

It's the inside inside line on that section. Coming down Switchbacks, you'd bear right out around the rock where there is a 'line' built up of a bunch of little rock pieces.

Nice!!!!! The video doesn't do it justice, I look at that line every time I ride up, too much penalty for failure and too narrow for my blood. Good job Mike :thumbsup:

I inspected this 'line' the other day. As I pondered how the hell to clean it, a quick video flashed in my head of me with my femur sticking out of my skin. Fack that noise.

Your video definitely does not depict the sketchiness of that section. Nice work!
