I've seen alot of trail like that; scary as heck when you're looking down it, almost flat when you
take a picture of it. Hence: http://home1.gte.net/res1ccvg/pics/finnelevator.jpg
Best educated guess is the that Elevator is about 50 degrees. The pic doesn't show it, but when you
ride it and hit the bottom, you'll definitely feel the g-force.
Maybe if there wasn't any roots at the bottom of that slope of yours it might not be so bad....

Yeah Cameron, that is the elevator. Make sure you hit the goo at the bottom with a straight front
wheel. I tend to move to the right going up to avoid that root and then it is up and away.......

Yeah I hear ya. The first few times I rode it, I was like dayum!! but once you run it a couple of
times it becomes second nature and you do it without thinking of the sudden dop.
Funny thing is, going down is the easy part, on the opposit side is a bunch of roots that stick out
just when it's time to crest the back to flat singletrack.
Depending on your skill and tires, it's a big job. Semi-Slicks or XC tires with low profile knobs
are a good recipe for disaster. I've seen more than one hammer slide sideways and back down into the
gully. It's even more ugly after a rainfall when it's filled with mud.

I usually go to the left. But of course there is a narrow gap between the two roots. It takes being
in the right gear and enough momentum.... beam me up! Ack. The hard part is not bruising the brain
when hitting the bottom.

The Elevator tends to collect water at the bottom. FYI: the Elevator is a small ravine. The best way
to describe it would be to get you to think of this letter: "V". Going down is scary enough, but
there is no easy run-out. The other side is just as steep, but with some hulkin' roots to mess you
up. Just ask Bob. He knows.

Its the Don Valley, the only scary things in there are the mafia henchmen and the militia guy who
camps out there every summer and hunts squirrels.

The bottom will drop out when the water is more than 6" deep. The mud just sucks you down and I
frequently flap a fender down hard onto the rear tire with a considerable slurry of mud flying in
all directions.
There were a bunch of kids hitting it last month in the mud getting pretty mucked up but enjoying
it. One particular rollie pollie kid gave me a big, "HEY MISTER"!! when I rode out the topside....

Didn't ride it the last couple times I was there. The mud wasn't encouraging, and this last time I
was eager to explore the other trails, and find that swamp. I still haven't rode out the top, but a
couple of friends can ride it both ways without stopping.
