Gorgeous. Crashed twice sliding off the corners... This one is gonna take some practice time. The outer diameter of the turns might be 25 feet or so. And it has no bank, just drops like hell.

Yeah, I just stumbled on it. Wasn't expecting it at all and all of a sudden I am barreling around the first corner. Switch to drop knee, grab the toe rail, lean back, ass end starts coming around. Oh ####, too much BigZig....as I start creeping to the inside while sliding....dug a trench into the red GA clay on the inside of the second turn and sat down on my butt. No way was I making all three, I am no where near that good yet. Time to practice my slides and get some better wheels to drift with. Maybe even radius my Gumballs or something...

Man, that thing is definitely sick looking from the air. Scary looking from the ground. I must have hit 25 going into the second turn... fun.

Look up George Pierce Park in Gwinnett, just southwest of 30518 zip.

I might drive 30 minutes to an hour to get there, but not from Tallywhacker, FL. That's a bit much.
