Someone cut down 1 of the handlebar-grabbing trees towards the end of the trail. I assume it was dying, otherwise it's a shame since it was a fun needle to thread.

Why did the root on the corner after twister roll get removed? That was a technical feature. You had to get your line right (especially in the rain). Now it's easy. Boo. This is supposed to be a black trail right?
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
