Hey all - there's a great bit at Innerleithen on the XC route, you ride up through the woods and then come to a clearing, and there are some really steep banks to go down, and a ladder drop. Does anyone know the bit I mean? Do you know what it's called? I'm trying to find a video of it on Youtube.

the quarry step up bit????
if so...those are not steep chutes. there is one quite steep chute if youbear right before going down the inramp for the step up....down the steep shaley bit to the fireroad as soon as you exit the woods.
I went out with a scruffy girl once......turns out she was just crazy! |

Yeah maybe we're talking about the same bit, you come up through the woods and there's an "official" line straight ahead and two really steep bits that look like they have been made by bikers, to the right.

i think with obstacles like mcmoab, confidence and positioning are the deciding factors
used to skate when younger and dropping into a half pipe/ mini ramp is definatly about bottle, only skill required was to keep your knees bent when leaving the vert for the flat, oh and making sure your front wheels went straight onto the ramp rather than manual half way down and have the board fly from under your feet and then landing on your ars*!
if it ain't rainin.....it ain't trainin |

The step/double does seem to catch people out, you can't see it til you're on top of it and you can be carrying a lot of speed from the bombhole so I wouldn't be too harsh on the guy.
