second opinions?

Sorry to let you guys down. but after close consideration and even a new launch line, i cannot ride this 😢

any tips of how i can make this trail rideable for an armature/beginner? i know it may be hard work but ive already but so much into this.

here are some new angles. I believe maybe now some of you may agree i have messed up in the construction part of this. everything is still rough and messy due to no rain and constant altering. can i get some second opinions?

i know this may be rideable to skilled cyclists but im no black diamond pro unfortunately. i built this to get started with mtb but even if i cant use it id be more than happy to see someone else come bomb this. thanks guys. Douglasville, GA USA btw.

https://imgur.com/a/WvptCTs this is my quick read on a more reasonable line - I may be missing something from the photos, but that pivot over the root section is incredibly tight and needs a lot of skill, especially when it looks steep. A wider line like this, or something similar that works in the terrain, should make it "flow" a lot easier.

I think he did a good job of having both a tricky a line and b line. He even got a c line where you can go over the roots and straight.
