Idk I thought it was fine. Janky for sure but fine. Definitely more double black tho imo.

It’s done. As much as I love janky steppy marbly stuff (no really I do!) worrying you’re going to break your collarbone going OTB on every root step means getting into a flow of any sort isn’t really a thing.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
