p.s.jury duty sucks.
It's actually only about 70 degrees (yeah, about like your fork), the first drop/roll on Schleyer. I went through the same thing last year, the first time you see sections like that, especially from the top they play with your eyes and look steeper than they are. It's about 3' long, so it ends up being a 4' drop if you drop it.
You'll be surpised Mael, once you go back a few times you'll actually be surprised that it looked so steep to you. I just went through the same thing when I rode the rock face on Upper Joyride this year for the first time. Last year I always thought it was super steep, near 80 degrees. Now that I hit it this year it looks like a whole different rock face, yet I know it's the same one. 50-60 degrees tops.
