Will try to make this. Rode the trail once and first right hander seemed too sharp - would love to help fix it if i can make it

I see what you did there......

Planting dragon root for a higher rise?

Bumping this up. We are still on for Saturday morning. Going to be working on filling holes and shaping the turns. I am a total newb to berms so anyone that can make it with that sort of experience would be a massive help.

Also donuts, coffee, and beer will be provided.

Unfortunately, SCPC scheduled TM at Sourlands same day otherwise i woulda been there for berm duty. Bench cut the turns down a bit, backslope the outside and throw extra dirt on top of that and pack it smooth. Make sure berm has smooth arc, continuous radius and doesnt start too late or end too soon. Turn should be smooth and gradual, not an abrupt 90 elbow. Use current ride line for the shape. Highest part should be the middle of the berm. Best i could do with snipet:

...forgot to add, a good berm lets you make the turn at full speed without having to brake at all.

Unfortunately I’m out of town for 10 days otherwise would be there.

Hopefully this rides better now, still needs more work. Limited knowledge for now! Keep an eye out for the next one!

The berms rode very nice today. I'm surprised "they" let you make them so steep and even include a jump out! I'm game to help finish and clean them up a bit when I can find time. @Id_rather_be_skiing
