    You and me both... I've never ridden "the loop", but this looks pretty tame. Maybe if you were rolling down that hill on a wobbly Huffy with worn out v-brakes it could get tricky :)

    I think they are not prepared for the G-Out at the bottom that leads up into the concrete slab area. You can get some good speed coming down it when you're pedaling.

    If doublewide hadn't been in the bushes creeping on her she never would have gotten spooked and crashed. Just sayin'.....

    Thanks for your wishes. Actually it was my fault. I was avoiding the downhill part and insisted she wants to try it. I told her not to use the front break, she did. She insisted she wants to try it again. She already picked a new helmet online, (shes does not want a full face:):lol:) All in all I feel bad as a parent because I should have known better.

    I hope she feels better, I also went down out there yesterday morning behind the dam just about to finish. Wife insisted on x-rays last night and found two broken ribs and and scapula. So much for riding motos and mountain bikes in Kernville next week. Hopefully back in a couple of weeks.
