i have found it to be a cake walk lately. ;D the trail really seemed to smooth out this dry season. 8) i dont go over the bridge i go around the tree, it just seems to flow better. I have done the bridge in the past couple of weeks and it  is very tough, so tough i avoid it. ;)

IMO it doesn't count as a clean lap of Gatorback unless you do the bridge. Anyone can go left around the tree.

I totally agree SFG. I do not consider myself to have cleaned any trail unless I do all the hard options. Moonscape still has my number for that reason.

A clean lap is one where I don't fall.  ;D

if you remember back a few years it was the only line. Then everyone that couldn't make it decided to start going left around the tree.

Ahhh, I remember making that line with my FS Stumpjumper.
Take outside line, straighten for the first rock, quarter pedal-lift front wheel, lift back wheel-push forward, quarter pedal-lift front wheel to get to board, lift back wheel and easy pedal. Stand up for the short climb.
 
Now, stay to the left and climb :'(

Not sure, but I thought it was weird that he offered to buy me breakfast after our little run in  :-[

LMAO...no "broadening of the horizons" here. 
 
I think you misunderstood my offer Catman.  I said I was going to offer you as "breakfast" for Big Momma.   ;D
