some of that looks sick. you should probably put in a big up and a good
size gap or 2. maybe some gaps to skinnys. kinda like what zack did
in defect on the lunch line bars. except not that high of course.

Mmm, it looks very different in pictures.

Corbin, I've been thinking we should start making more obstacles that
aren't ladder bridges. From memory and from that album, it seems that
wider, taller skinnies are a bit over-represented, while lower, thinner
skinnies are rarer.

Torkerdx, try to remember that we are making this course for a full
range of riders, not just the upper end. I personally think we should
steer clear of simple large hops, and instead make them smaller and
more technical (rather than some 3' hop from nowhere to nowhere, make
it a 2' hop up to a post or a 2x4 on edge to ride). By making the hops
smaller but more technical, the course is more accessible to more
riders, while still giving a substantial challenge to the more advanced
riders. Case in point, I am confident I can do a 3' hop with a couple
of tries, but that second line I named would be a lot more challenging
and fun.

All that said, there's already at least one line which is just a big
(>38") pedalgrab without space for a prehop. I'm sure we'll be able to
find more.
