AAARRGGHHH i really want to post in that thread but cant get registered :(

I want to say about the fact that they want to change the course after! when children are young, parents often put a stair gate up to prevent the child using the stairs as a safety precaution but at some point the parent decides that its ok not to have the stair gate, the same applies to the course, if its too hard people wont use it until they have built up enough confidence and nobody will blame falling off on it being too hard, they'll blame it on not being good enough but they'll learn, just like you learned to climb the stairs at home and as you learn you improve.... dont deny people the right to improve !

Well..Ive filled in a questionairre for the Legacy Commitee making that point so lets hope they take notice, the trouble is that a lot of the 'hard' parts are quite jagged rocks, (I managed to mangle my shin whilst having a sneaky go), as opposed to popular DH tracks Ive been on, Danbury, Aston, Morzine, etc which are mostly soft earth which is perhaps why they think they should remove them..they really deff should keep the leap of faith drop part as it would join up with the exisiting track/murder hill part perfectly.

Yep should keep leap of faith section seeing as they taken away the gnarly steep ledge & 1st drop In jump that led into murder hill

I plan on being out.. I may be a little late though as I think Surfette had an appointment until 7 so might not be able to leave mine until 7:10-15

I'll check with her later.

Just rebuilt the forks at lunch so will need to test them out on the bike later :)
