      @@VanCan The design of that element caused that crash in my opinion. Why would you build it with an edge like that?! Probably happens to a lot of riders. unfortunately a feature that requires some speed (i guess) so its not ideal to have that poor element in front of it.

      Was gonna say the same. Before i saw the drop, i was thinking platinum had seen a lot of recent work. Which i think it may have, but last i checked it out (3-4 years ago) it was in disrepair, with the big gully bridge at the end uncrossable. @VanCan Unless it's been taken down, Blood donor had a slightly larger (30down,15out) road gap/ladder drop with a sketchier exit (steep tranny to a sharp turn) if the senders want more air time. That was a lifetime ago that I gazed upon it though.

      He almost hit the tree the first time on the roller gap. Then he went back, and got even closer to the tree the second time. Then he was coming in for run three, and I thought..."He'll probably miss the trail to the left this time." He landed that last one in the center. His bars must have been mm's from catching that tree.
