People do realise that they only use that heavy black compacted gravel stuff on the skill/learning jumpy bits don't they. Having been to all the Stanes, the only time you see that stuff is on the uber fast big air droppy sections. The other surfacing they use is designed to erode into a more natural feeling trail, just like real trails do after the local councils 'repair' them with the horse friendly shite they use Oh and they don't put fun bits in either. Kirroghtree is a prime example of this man made Natural mix done to it's best. There's a gazzilion (Approx) real trails out there and about 20 or 30 of big man mades max in the UK, I don't think we need to worry. That box drop in the pic scares the fuckin shite out a me just to look at it too. Anyway I like both so :0p ==== This e-mail is intended solely for the addressee.
