@olivercameron1986 It's a bummer. And once they're there, your eyes are just drawn to the most obvious line and you can't help but follow them unless you're familiar with the original trail.

@cmouse_2 Good question! I did it get x-rayed when we got home and they couldn't see any fractures. It still hurts now though and I can't put much weight on it. So I don't know really. Hopefully it'll sort itself out with time. It was a great trip and I wish we'd stayed longer. There's so much there, so we only rode most trails once or twice.

@@cmouse_2 It's worth a trip for sure.

@@genevievecooke9027 Goodness me, you must.

@@leehorspool9744 Likewise! Very cool bike.

@@treebeardmtb I'm back tomorrow if you're about 😎. Ill be there from 2pm

@leehorspool9744 Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll see you around soon!

@@ustak7561 There's loads on KZbin, but I think this is the best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3OYeKB_gZWmosksi=k43hNkc6NXmMVn6j.

Same. Looking forward to going back and building some speed, try to clear the jumps. The bottom is seriously committing. One day!

@@treebeardmtb there is a rock roll/ drop near the top which caught me out both times. Rode it absolutely fine, just forgot it was there 😅

Thanks!

It's a ridiculous bit of track. Hope you got off lightly!

Also, thank you! It really helped following Becci and breaking it down section by section. Would have been much harder on my own. I'm pretty happy with the tech sections now so next visit I'll try building speed and getting over some of those big jumps.

How was the coaching? Thinking about it

@mtb-mania Sorry, only just seen this. Coaching was great. Made a few technique adjustments that really helped. Even though I like to think I know what I'm doing from KZbin videos, there's no substitute for someone with experience watching you ride and assessing you. It was a big confidence boost. I didn't record it, but there was a lot of scoping out and discussing each section down Race Track. Plus you get to skip to the front of the uplift queue. Recommended.

Good luck! It's not the easiest line but it's well built and fun to ride. The wooden ramps have quite a tight radius, so watch out for that - I find my upper body collapses into the bike if I'm not prepared for it.

Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful. Better make it quick if you're thinking of going!

@@treebeardmtb yeah big uni trip there this weekend on Sunday! Hopefully won’t be too soggy

Phoenix is great, particularly for learning to ride bigger jumps. Best get over there while it's still dry if you can.

So good. The trails really flatter you - make you feel better than you are. It's crazy how much speed you can get even riding conservatively.

Roll up to the start nice and slow, same sort of speed as the side by side tables/gaps to the left. Watch out for picking up speed - I generally had to brake a little before the third jump, but if your technique is better than mine you might be able to turn that speed into height. That's about it really. It's intimidating for sure but it's a pretty safe line - quite long mellow landings with big case pads.
