Sketchy lines Ep.1. Bottom of Slingshot, Canonteign.

This section of Slingshot has a a gradient of 57.1% & some exposure. In my view this is the trickiest line at Canonteign. In particular the run in to the first drop is very awkward & it makes it hard to set up regardless of whether you are going to lift the front wheel or hit it with speed.

Gotta love the nature!

You can roll the first drop. There is a rock sticking out on the right of the drop put your front tyre there. Second drop is sketchy. If you land off line your doomed 😂 (I know😉) the catch Bern by the tree stops you surprisingly well.
It's a scary line. I've ridden it a lot now and it still freaks me out.

Yeah, I saw the rock you mention & that was my plan B if I wasn't in good shape for dropping it - but I never managed to get that far 🤣

Looks like not enough riding being done on the trails and they are full of sketchy dry leaves. Wondered if the soil underneath is more grippy?

[@smv9338]

I'm sure it is!!
