I love Picnic for the drops, bump jumps, and the 2 spots you can ride through a tree. It's the one trail I will never not ride when I am at Brushy.

Yea this was my second time and it was so much more fun riding with someone who knows the place well. I missed out on so many fun trails the first time.

RPR.

It becomes easier the more you attempt it. I can consistently clear everything on double down except for 2 features. And I have cleared those 2 features a few times, but only at like a 20% success rate. A year ago I couldn’t even clear half the stuff on 1/4 notch. That side is cake now.

And this is where pranking trail builders was born.

My guess is @chuckt saw the new wooden feature left of the jump and was asking about it. He didn't have a photo of it so he took an old photo and cloned the jump feature to the left where this new wooden feature is to help illustrate what he was talking about. And he's talking about the wooden feature in the photo I posted above.

There is a new wood feature on the left of that wooden jump though right? I saw something there a few days ago.

🍿 I saw this the other day as well. There's also a new line being built to the far right of this stuff (with another drop)?

The photo shows the worst one, but I found 3 spots with hairline cracks. I do feel like I got my money's worth out of them.

My rear wheel has cracks at 3 different spoke locations. WTB rim from an NX build bike. Bike is a little over 2 years old and I’ve never had the spokes tightened or wheels trued. I weigh 170lbs and running Cush core as well which makes me wonder how cheap these wheels are. Anyone keep sending it until a wheel with these kind of cracks failed? I have a new wheel set coming Friday but went for a brushy ride anyways today and it seems to run fine. Hit double down and did the big picnic drop 2x. I took it “easy”. 😇

I guess there are "perks" to riding 1/4 notch during golden hour.

Just a temporary one. I haven't hit that feature yet because I usually need to see someone else hit something before I try it. But I have done a few run ups and the run-in ramp isn't as bad as it looks.

Yup. There's a drop at Christchurch that's about half the size of the big snail one. I'd imagine that's the one to conquer and session before attempting the big snail one.

Some fun at Christchurch today.

I always ride that way when I come from the sports field area. Love bump jumping those roots.

I was inclined to try to ride everything at brushy today thanks to you, but it started to get too wet by the time I was midway through 1/4 notch. I was able to finish 1/4, but based on all the slippage I didn’t feel good about hitting double down or rim loop. Still not sure I can do it all in one ride. Double down probably would have drained what I had left. 🙂

Those trails are closest to my house. I used to ride them often when I first moved here. Once I discovered Deception, Picnic and Snail I just lost interest. But I don't think I've ever ran across another rider on those trails. Few people walking on occasion, but that's about it.

I think I need to ride with people who can handle all that. I tend to get tired quicker when I ride solo for whatever reason. I guess I feel lazier when there's not someone else there to push me. 🙂

If they were near the rest I’d probably hit them once in awhile to change things up. But I’d rather spend my time riding everything else and that’s pretty much my limit with stamina. I do think that rock roll into the curved wooden feature is neat.

Honestly not really. Maybe to experience them at least once.

I rode by it today. Looks fun! Landing looks a bit loose so I'm going to wait until I'm not riding solo.

Deception was great. I got on picnic and bailed early because the ground still felt saturated. Saw puddles at multiple low spots as well. Just didn’t feel like riding it slow.

I'm probably going to check out Deception and Picnic in a bit. Riding from home so if the the ground is too soft to ride I'll at least have gotten some kind of ride in.

Seems way bigger to me. I hit the big picnic drop at least 3-4x a week. The new snail drop scares the crap out of me just looking at it.

Would be amazing to carry a really loud air horn for a situation like this. Just the thought of it makes me laugh.
