Retard hill...

That's not Retard Hill! That's Spooky Hill, Retard's to the left as you're looking at Spooky.

Plus, to be politically correct, I've started calling it Genius Hill. But it doesn't seem to be catching on

Whatever its called I am not riding down it anytime soon! Right before i took this pic a kid on a Specialized P.3 rode down that. You can see his landing marks in that pic and the one after. It was quite impressive. I have seen folks bottom out with DH bikes on that so to see him do it on a hardtail was cool. Just couldn't get the camera out in time.....

I think the key to spooky hill is just to check your speed enough that you get a little tranny under you. It worked very well for me, especially off the left side (right side in the pic) as for retard hill, I've been eying that puppy for a bit now, the drop in could be clearer but the landing doesn't look too bad. Now what I'm wondering about is the DH run that goes straight down a ridge line on the opposite side of the creek, throws in a 10 foot drop and then runs out between two trees into the creek. I saw a mattress propped up against a tree down there, for safety I suppose. However, I didn't see any tire marks. It's one burly looking drop, has anyone here nailed that guy yet?

We were hitting that drop but we dont ride there anymore. If you go off it draw a line in the dirt to roll down so your aim is on. Clocking that tree would suck

Yeah a few people have hit it... I hit it last year, pre-mattress It's a super smooth landing, you wanna make sure you have the approach lined up right though like GK said.

we raked that drop out last season. there used to be a mini bridge across the stream. its a solid 15ft if you land near the bottom. my first plan was to roll it slow, and drop like 4ft, but my bikes idea of slow and mine were different. it was huge, but butter smooth. a grommet who does not like me decided that if I could do it, he could too. he ovalized and headtube cracked a headset broke a helmet and bent his fork.

hence, the mattress.
