Anyway...that little jump Mike does is butt pucker territory b/c if you stab the bank and high side...you're gonna roll like Farley in Black Sheep for a good 100 yards.
Yeah that thing is a mindfvck for sure. It's probably the most exposed jump I've ever hit, and you can't tell at all from the pictures. Luckily we just widened the bench cut after the landing to about twice what it was when you saw it. Parts of it are cut in 4+ feet deep in the side of the mountain.
As far as the secret stash, this one's pretty well-traveled by boonefolk, we're just trying to make it better for everyone...plus we love building trails. Riding your own handiwork is like nothing else.
