Walked some trails yesterday including a track with one of my favourite features. The area is full of wooden man-made constructions but this is a huge root after a fast berm. It creates a blind drop that you can roll or send.
Show us some of your local trail features.
No pics but about 2/3ds of the way down Community Service at the golfy you ride down onto a question mark shaped corner, jink right/exit hard left with a step in it, where the step is a tree stump (or maybe root) that also mostly blocks the trail. So you approach it, go oh shit, turn right a little to get the front wheel past it while you go down the step, then go hard left to make the turn. But as you roll "forward" the stump is now in the way of the back wheel. So you ride into that and then the back end slides off the stump and gets pushed to the right and drops flawlessly down the step, because it's so unweighted by the gradient that it just effortlessly takes the push and follows you. It is just <perfect>
(as far as I can tell there's no pro way to do it, short of trials hopping the rear instead of letting the trail guide you)
Second prize to the wee root jump near the bottom of falla brae at glentress, just before the fence. It's dead easy, but it looks sketchy and it feels as good to me to ride it for the 100th time as it did the first, on any bike, at any speed.
