    Yikes that is crazy! Mountain biking looks like fun in some ways, but dude, that certainly doesn't look like a beginner obstacle eek7.gif

    Interesting images. Doesn't look like a bridge that's designed to (or even COULD) hold a person, let alone a person and a bike. Looks more like a leftover shelter someone would get under.

    On second thought: Beavers. Definitely beavers. :D

    THanks for looking! This is high on a ridge. No sign of beavers.:D

    The was a distinct line of travel that you can see in the first image. I'm sure this is a spot where teens rode mountain bikes.

    Likely an attempt at what is best described as 'North Shore' style riding. A bad attempt at that...here is what they were probably trying to do...
