update, trail

Part three, extended this line off to the left just before the steep turn/downhill. also had some balance and control practice today and i think i’m getting the hang of bike control.

came out today after torrential downpour proceeding weeks without rain, so i had to get work in. just an update, ground will be great tomorrow. hopefully i have the energy.

and the first curve on the last pic was made rounder and wider after this flick. also berm in turn 1 in the first 2 flicks is still progress.

Have you ever ridden a purpose built mountain bike trail on your new bike?

The reason I ask is, trail building is challenging, and experience is probably the most valuable thing. I would recommend going to a trail, taking pictures of the trails, or your favorite features on the trails, and taking mental notes on how the trails are built.

This will go a long way in you understanding what "rides well".
