I went for a reccy run today and found some nice terrain, plenty of elevation, nice natural curves and a couple of mad road gaps to be made. Heres some pics.

the only thing I found a bit concerning about this particular trail was the skull at the top of one of the natural jumps Cry





So I stuck it to the top of a tree

it's a hell push to the top but the best thing is that it's a ride from home so I dont have to put the rack on. Ive made about 1/2 a trail from top to bottom, just needs some grooming and leveling out a bit but it should work out all good if anyones keen for a nasty push.

I went up for another scope in the bush and I think ive found a line right to the bottom without too much need for pedaling and a nice exit drop out of the bush.

Im going to go up after work tomorow (monday) if anyones keen to have a gander, will probably drive there so I can take some tools.
