A-Line...
A-Line is (without a doubt) the most famous trail in the world. And with good reason.
It simply has it all. :clap: For starters, how many trails "begin" with a ladder jump? Sprinkle in dozens of twists, turns, roots, rocks drops, more drops, and you've got yourself one hell of a trail. Fortunately for us, that is "LITERALLY" the beginning.
Two things set A-Line apart from all the rest.
1) Jumps. There must be 100 jumps on this one trail. Some you can't even see. Thankfully, most jumps are marked (on each side) with mini-sprinkler flags. Step-up's, step-downs, table tops, lippy jumps, drops, gap jumps, ladders, rock drops- you name it- this trail has it! To say these jumps are in "manicured" condition is putting it mildly. They are perfect! The coolest thing about many of these jumps: multiple options (with regard to how high you want to fly).
2) Speed. I could not believe how fast I flew down that trail. A-Line "begs" you to go fast. The berms are designed to slingshot you into the next straight away. To keep ya' going fast, some berms have cinder blocks buried into the ground. How cool is that? :clap:
I love this trail
Let the trail BEGIN...
A little flow...
A-Line Drop...
Looks can be deceiving.... It's ugly!
Perfect...
Another angle...
One more...
As I said before, many of the A-Line jumps give the rider a few options on how high they want to fly.
This jump is different in that it consisted of
one main jump (left) and (2) extra credit options!
I took the middle one!
My heart races every time I see this picture!
Went off the jump
MUCH faster than I had anticipated. Landed at the end of first group of stones. Almost went OTB! I technically landed it.... Came to a stop with both feet on the ground!!! #-o
