Backless Ramp at Coondoo

[baznortis]

Hi All, as a very part time MTB rider I was seriously brought undone by the backless ramp at Coondoo yesterday. Probably due to my slow reflexes my eyes are on the track in front and seeing the ramp just figured there'd be a ramp on the other side so hit it with no fear. That soon changed when I saw nothing on the other side but cut off tree stumps. Let's just say I landed on my head and shoulder. It could have been worse, I was able to do a second lap and this time saw the sign but still didn't have time to read it going past. From what I've heard I'm not the only one to go over it in a bad way. Just letting you know it's pretty dangerous and that little sign is not effective. But the track itself is fantastic, you've done a great job, it must have taken a lot of work.
