Creative Trail Clearing Part 2

Continuing from Part 1, this is the test ride, with my Helmet Cam strapped to my knee.

This part shows several examples of the various routes possible using me as an example.

On the third up hill route, jumping the diagonal log at an acute angle, I was expecting good tire grip on the bark. What I didn't know was that the bark was old and the rain from the previous night and maybe years before had soaked the log under the bark. When my rear tire gripped the log, the bark peeled off and exposed a super slick surface.

On a repeat ride, I used more body un-weighting and less dependency on the tire traction..

See Part 1 for the reason I left these logs in the trail.
