Luckily he walked away from this crash with nothing more than a few scrapes & cuts on his chin, knee & elbows (as well as a damaged ego).

Gravel still bedding in on the flats and slow corners, pretty solid base on the higher speed berms. One big puddle to look out for.

Fallen tree 3/4 of the way down. Can ride the majority of the trail fine, just be prepared to spot towards the bottom. Big big tree. Lift your bike over the tree, dip yourself under it, keep calm, carry on.
