.....I present Spaceballs, a short trail low on flow but high on penalty-for-failure. As I've only ridden it one other time 8 months ago, it wasn't until I looked at Google maps afterwards that I discovered between 4:36 and 4:45 I missed a couple of rollers thanks to new ride-arounds created by those that shouldn't be on the trail in the first place. But other than that it's basically the complete trail.

Nice work.

It's easy to miss, but the the rock on your left at 4:42 is a feature that always gets under my skin. I won't do it. You thread a needle on the backside and there are severe consequences on both sides.

No idea who created that trail, but it's a technical masterpiece, and you made it look simple.

Thanks Avid, you're too generous in your assessment of my run, but I've seen video somewhere of the guy whom I'm pretty sure built it going way faster and more fluid on a full rigid 29er (and no, it's not Aqua). I remember it being somewhat demoralizing at the time.

And yes, I looked at the rock on the left at 4:42 but wasn't sure to hit it as there didn't appear to be a trail leading to the approach. The Google map reflects an earlier time when there was still a clearer trail to it.

Hey avidtest, was that you and your dog coming down Mongo this morning when I was up there walking mine? The dog in your avatar looks familiar.

Nope. Not me. I was busy suffering at Efiin. :-)
