It was on the rolling water bar thingies. I was on the racer-x and no
matter what I do the back end wants to fly over my head. I seat is set
back, I'm not that high up, and I lift up as I hit, but it still wants
to go ass first. I don't have that problem on the Ventana. So, yes I
was slowing down to prevent what would have been many endos.

It's a similar problem with most of the immediate front range trails
here. High use by lots of different traffic. You have to go to the
next line of mountains to get narrower trails. Apex, White Ranch, etc.
all suffer from the same problem.
