A lot to think about on this trail, there’s roots and ruts that can throw you off line if you go into them too fast as well as tight and short corners where you have to decide whether it’s worth braking late and exiting slow, or braking early and exiting fast.
It may not be a super gnarly trail, but mastering it takes a lot of thinking and a lot of control!
Trails like this really teach you how important controlling your speed and line choice are!

Pick a better line and go faster then
Too steep and too many trees to be any fun for me. I prefer easier trails I can let loose and rip down fast without a very reasonable and likely to be realized fear of crashing and seriously injuring myself
Thank you for not posting the trail’s name! I hate learning details about the trails people post about. Keeps me hungry for more facts
I think you are overthinking what to think about when you think you are riding a thought out trail. I think maybe you could think up a way to not think so much and just ride bro
I absolutely love this kind of riding. Did a trail like this yesterday, here in the PNW
It’s the roots that run adjacent that are most dangerous, good ride!
Where’s this? Looks like the Scottish Borders.
