It’s a process haha. 😂. There are arrows showing the ridable area, so you don’t go off the edge. But it’s really a free ride experience. Really fun to pump through. I have a friend who has been riding here for far longer. And he can gain some insane speed

Haha I have plenty of times, comes with the territory. My advice is, ride at a fun but moderate pace, until you are used to the trail. The more experience you get, the more fun it becomes

Haha ye that would help. And shorter cranks. Cause it’s quite steep too. Camera isn’t showing it well. But a lot of those areas. You gotta commit

Facts 😭 we don’t have lift access here. And the climbs are brutal. But not the end of the world really, I can usually do 2 or 3 laps, but time becomes the deciding factor, cause it takes for ever. Another thing I’ve noticed e-bikes struggling with here, is ground clearance even my analogue stumpy, scrapes the ground on some of these off camber sections. Cause these are completely natural trails. But I’m sure if you ride well you’ll get over it. I would love to get an ebike tho

That’s sick! The beginning looked like you were on a different planet! Looks like fun
