Heck!  I have to wear a helmet out to ride, i know I am going to slam my head into that low lying branch on Rollercoaster EVERYTIME!  You know, coming up the backside of the harder route drop, right before the planks.  Every stinkin' time!
HAHA that is so funny because last time I rode it I hit my head there for the first time, I never noticed it before so it really surprised me. I hit it pretty hard, it gave me a head ache

yeah, THAT was funny as ish

I was going to make an option for those of you who can't duck to get under a low branch but I think that will be to much work so I guess I will have to get out there and cut it out. Or maybe I'll find two more low limbs to replace that one after I take it out Marcel.LOL
One more thing-- someone took out a rock on the short climb after the spot where everyone takes a break after  doing Roller Coaster, I will put a lot more rocks there to replace it. You were right Marcel.  I LOVE ROCKS.

wouldn't the hole the rock used to be in, be considered an obstacle? Thus is you pile rocks on it, you are destroying a obstacle?

Just a thought :p

P.S. no complaints here Art, keep up the solid work sir :)

Art likes rock??  ;D  I noticed that rock missing and it bothered me. I liked how you had to shoot a perfect line up that climb. Now it has no challenge. Art see if you can remember the exact demenssions of the allegged missing rock and shape a new one from man made materials and install it into its exact spot. I would be very impressed and happy for that to be achieved. ;D I will help if need be.

Yeah, I thought something was missing. Rollercoaster is not supposed to be an easy trail. Rocks, roots, tight squeezes between low limbs, all add an element of challenge. Rock on!!!! ;)

Nobody should be altering the Technical Trail Features (TTF) of a particular trail.  If you want to know what we do when we design and build trails you should come on out for some workdays and see how it is done.  Many of us have been doing this a long time.

My guess is that the 'culprit' that removed the rock is in all likelihood a non-SWAMPer...

I noticed that rock gone on that climb a few weeks ago, everybody in the group was complaining about it being gone. I say we make that climb a real challenge, put a 2ft step up in it or something!

I have pictures and GPS Locations for all rocks at Alafia.  When I Do get the chance to go out there, I Will put the rock back in it's originial location plus a few more. That climb is not a challenge anymore, Hopefully it will be again. OH!!!, did I say I LOVE ROCKS and techinical climbs.

Hey Art,
I thought I posted this yesterday on the thread.  The little climb around the cut off tree stump has been altered permanently  now.  You know the one on Rollercoaster as you get closer to the Moonscape entrance that is after a left turn with paver and rooty that used to go on the right of the stump?  It is now going left and no challenge at all.  Also on the same trail where the palmetto pin ball action was as you almost out of the trail.  There is a palmetto tree missing.  I didn't pin ball last time I rode it.  Maybe is my imagination.  Check it.  Oh, yes.  You ROCK!
