Isn't the default way down SpongeBob just to huck it by staying right? That's what I always do...don't remember going down the cheese grater to the left. Definitely seems like more fun just to huck it... Now, going up it, you have to take the cheese grater...it's one of the two things that sometimes prevents me from clearing 1/4. But with the right speed and gear, getting up isn't that hard. Just easy to get bounced and forced to dab.

Hey thanks, even a basic feature-name map would be cool and it looks like that's what you were posting but it's showing up with a circle with a minus sign in it. Not sure why that is, but maybe a missing file attachment?

I think I asked EB before, but I don't remember. I would love a map of the names of the features on DD. Does such a thing exist? I've cleared everything one direction or the other. The one that gives me fits is Squeeze Play, one of those drops is a cinch...the other direction, I just can't get lined up to bunny hop it...it's driving me nuts! Not too much trouble on the rest of it...I'm on a mission to no-dab DD. The video on the BCB blog with the feature names is like 6 years old and if I watch it again, I'm going to have a seizure. Hope there's a map out there...is there one?

Super nice! As long as Intense keeps making mountain bikes, I'll keep riding 'em. The best!

One thing about Giants is they tend to be a little bigger than the normal S. M, L or XL. I took a friend's Trance 2 out a couple of years ago and it was a small, it had all the dimensions of a medium. So be careful there. I don't think, generally, someone who is 6 feet tall should have an XL. Could be wrong there, so just be careful and throw a leg over whatever you buy if possible. My saying that Giants are a little bigger than other bikes is based on info from a couple years ago. That may not still be the case, but it most definitely was then. So if you're considering a used rig, just be aware. That may or may not be the case with new bikes...

I never even thought to look at going under Abilene. Will check it out next time, thanks for the heads up!

Probably the same as what's called 'Rocky Trail' where the old truck is...I'm thinking? It does line up with this trail. Some fun, chunky stuff...and it sounds cool as you ride it and all the rocks are bouncing off each other.

Side note, the Kincheon Branch that shoots out of DN is a pretty fun, but overlooked, little section. The only downside is that once you hit Abilene Trail, you have to ride a bunch a blocks to get to trails that lead to Drip Drop. I can't remember what it's called, but it's something like rocky or chunky something. It just traces along the creek there...mostly pedestrians, I think, but a fun, even a little technical trail.

We rode MMS on Wednesday...it's all clear. One or two small things here and there, but it's gtg.

I did. and it shows up on my phone but not on my desktop...not sure why that's happening.

My feeling is that it's neighborhood kids?

There is a new trail called Flow Daddy, which goes east from Mopac along Wmson Creek on the north side and then crosses over it three times before joining into the already-existing trail there. I'd say about 1/5th of the way in, you skirt by a homeless camp. The builders noticed it wasn't used much, if at all, but there is a shit ton of garbage and leftovers there. The trail doesn't show on your map, but the trash there needs to be addressed...it's bad. And this is a great idea...you're right, great PR for riders. I've got some other ideas I'll be adding soon...

It's not terrible, but you'd need to add a dropper...

I walked it last weekend. It's going to be awesome...can't wait! Thanks to everyone involved...

Nice to see Flow Daddy getting some love. The crossings are so much fun, just be sure to check them out before you hit them. Especially the middle one. 🙂
