    I genuinely can't think of a single gnarlier trail that has quite as many mandatory pro-lines as this one; there are precisely zero ride arounds here. Thanks to the builder for having the eye to craft such a masterpiece. Unfortunately I hear it's imminently on the chopping block, and may not even exist by the time you watch this video. Enjoy the four of us picking it apart!

      Trespasser A-lines are definitely worse, but I'd argue the fact that there are no ridearounds here make it the toughest mandatory trail. Could be wrong!

    Hey Dale great mtb skills... It's been a while that I'm watching your videos and I was wondering if you changed any settings from the last videos with the dji action 3. This one seems to have a much better focused image compared to the previous ones, I don't know if it's just me or what, anyway if you will manage to get videos as nice as this one with different lighting conditions if believe I would convince myself onto buying one action 3.

      @@olik136The local gov't tends to go after built up features way quicker than natural trails. Wooden structures and dirt work are also far easier for the district to decomission than a rock slab or a loamer for example. The trail isnt terribly well hidden or armoured and the extra traffic, combined with how steep it is, could blow stuff out and make for some shitty riding pretty quick. It's all still pretty new and it hasn't been established whether the land owners are willing to turn a blind eye. (Like some other "secret" shore trails that have been common knowledge for a long time).

      All true. Just remember that there is no statistically significant correlation between a video being posted and an appreciable increase in traffic (even when the trail is named), take a look: imgur.com/a/uoou0sP. Also it's not on the shore!
