I see stuff like that in tree-covered hilly Virginia--but at much slower speeds. The magazine MTB Review describes our local trail network this way:
"Technical and rocky and rooty and at some times of the year, covered with leaves. Typical Virginia riding at it's finest. If you've never been into the big hills of the west, this is a great testing ground. For those of you with technical skills it will test you. For those of you without technical skills, it will teach you. But don't be intimidated. This is what it's all about. And just before the downhills get to you they end (which has the depressing side effect of LOTS of climbing) This is a great place to train for the Va championship series if you're a racer"
I, however, am not a racer training for the VA championship series, and wouldn't mind some less technical riding.
