Wow. I have ridden that four times (and helped build the entrance to tectonic while vacationing in CO) and your speed and control is impressive. Nice!

@@facelessbot963 The wood drop on ghost town was pretty sketchy blind and was certainly bigger than I thought it was going to be. And more speed was needed for the wood bridge. Had to push my bike forward which is why the camera got knocked off angle on the landing. Most of the trail is build with enough sight lines to have an idea of what’s coming. And is built in a way that a good quick trail speed is the right speed for most of the features. Half the fun is figuring it out as you go.

Sweet skills! I've done the Tectonic drop and it was nice. The Ghost Town looks pretty big. Should I scope it before hitting Ghost? Thanks

@@BOOSTEDDUDE Thanks dude. First time I hit ghost town was blind in my “first look” video. Came up a little short. It rides nice. Similar speed to the tectonic drop. It’s a little taller and the landing is loose. Not an issue, but something to be aware of. Easy to make the corner after without trouble. I’d suggest looking at it first but if you hit it at a good trail speed, you’ll be fine.

@@BOOSTEDDUDE Thanks dude. That first drop/gap is just enough farther than it seems. The rest was easy to spot a line without checking the trail out ahead of time. Sorry about the dot.

@@markf4968 Thank you. Climb is good. Mellow great. Which means it meanders a bit and is good for bigger bikes or climbing with a full face. Would be good on a SS. Switch backs are normal tight radius but not steep. Overall a well built trail system. Can loop back to the top at several spots on the down. Not a shuttle ride at the moment.
