jcarneytx Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Was the old one coming apart? rode it not too long ago, seemed ok. This one looks a bit longer. Ramps made less steep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-Blood Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Was the old one coming apart? rode it not too long ago, seemed ok. This one looks a bit longer. Ramps made less steep?If you are referring to the a frame bridge the answer is 3 fold. 1. Yes it was coming apart2. It was intimidating to beginners and forced them into the creek3. The bridge was ultimately too short and always had mud hole on exit because water would rise to that spot and Those who took the creek added to the erosion by widening the creek and carrying water up the trail.

HoneyBadger Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I will be waiting for you if you try and go through the creek. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBadger Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 If you're fast enough you'll be able to clear the middle of the bridge.....oh.....and we fixed the drainage issues and stopped people riding through the creek. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSlow Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I look forward to riding these new features sometime in August when it stops raining every few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafeend Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Rode this AM. 1/4 was dampish and wet in th e usual low spots. But overall nice. DD was good. Rim was great as usual. Snail trail. I rode the trail across the top.. not the drops as it looked wettish. Picnic (Upper) was good. Picnic (lower) was sloppy last night so didnt bother today. Didnt touch Picnic X I can't stand Mulligan so didnt bother.Candyland was sweet. Gnargasm was good ..just dampish Didnt bother heading toward Gumdrop as experience says it is sloppy.Looking at the skies now I hope the rain stays away. Didnt bother with Peddlers either as the Ogre by the bridge looks scary in the pictureSent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's such a stickler for the rules of golf that he won't even ride the trail because of the name. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenfool Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Mulligan gives me a headache. (okay, I've only ridden it once, and doing so resulted in an argument between a low hanging Oak branch and my noggin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga9999 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I have ridden it a couple of times since I broke my clavicle on it, but I do not enjoy it so I have not made it a habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafeend Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Thanks for the report but what do you have against Mulligan?A few years ago it was pretty cool. Since it has devolved into widened trails and B Lines. Plus it hurt my friend Big A. Also I feel like I have pushed my luck riding the drop that my luck has run out.So no good reason really.

Yosmithy Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The only good part of Mulligan is sitting at the bottom of Cru and watching the Wally World riders make the "Drop" 🙂 The sounds they make upon impact are the Peaches! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not to my knowledge. It was meant to be a tight twist short trail. We are going for a wide variety of types of trails in Brushy area and some of you weirdos like the tight slow twisty crap that makes you wonder if you will leave with a broken hand. The exit was pure luck that we made that drop work. The original exit was much less flavorful. I typically bypass it these days or go up the quick way and do CRU Jones drop only Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk     1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs lots of wheels on it to help compact/smooth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
