I saw the new corkscrew section on the way in... have no idea how to get to it and wasn't sure if it was open. Didn't want to ride the wrong way on something like that.
Max G's... wow. First time up the other side I got off trail to the right. :-\  Honestly didn't expect THAT much force on the way up and I didn't have my line picked... couldn't correct myself. Took the walk of shame through the rough stuff and tried it again. Off to the left. Corrected too much.  >:(  I'll get it next time.
Also made a pit stop at Lauren's Overlook... because once I learned why we built it, I just have to.

I think I may have seen you out there but I felt funny about yelling, "hey are you the shaky video guy?"

If you ride Ridgeline, Corkscrew is after Pepper Ridge and the Plunge. You will see the two high banked, clay turns to the rider's left side. The entrance to Corkscrew is after the entrance to allow repeated riding. The entrance is along the trail about 80' from the exit, also on the left. Corkscrew is OPEN and fun, but there is an unknown technical problem. Thus, I am looking for comments to improve it. Thanks, Jeff.

I must have seen the exit then. I saw some fresh clay and recognized it from the pics. However, there was no organic way to enter it so I knew it wasn't the entrance. Thanks for clearing that up, I'll look for it next time. I can see now how it can be done repeatedly and flow nicely into the rest of the trail.
Is SWAMP going to also provide barf bags at the entrance for out of shapers like me?  ;D
