We did the ridge (where you parted ways), then we did catalyst twice (did it in both directions), then we did P-A. I was feeling really good so coming back the flats when I saw that I just went for it.. I guess I'd never scouted it as well as I thought as I didn't realize it had a ~20 degree turn as you go through the two trees.. So, when I came down the other side about half way down my front wheel dropped off the side. I did a nice little pogo off my front suspension and had a nice tumble. Scrapes and bruises.. I'll live!
