    I dont get those trails at all - I'd rather go fast on the dirt than slow on a skinny 10 ft in the air - I get that at the start log rides and what not were out of need - to avoid deadfall and so on but to just start sticking rides higher and high in the trees for the hell of it doesnt make sense.

    I guess its sad that historic trails are falling by the way side but to be honest I'd not ride that and I imagine I am not alone so its not surprising.

    It's just another type of riding, and brings a large adrenaline rush for people, and is alot of fun for them. I'd never go on one, due to fear of heights, but lots of people love them.

    Shame to see the trail falling apart.
