i dont know if anyone has heard of this concept before but it sounds like a good idea.......

i was reading an article on whistler bike park and the trailbuilders use a squirrel catcher at or near the top of each run. confused?

well the squirrel catcher is the largest/most difficult obstacle on that run. the idea is that if you cant mangage that then stay clear, if you can, then nothing should surprise u on the way down.

i know its slightly different on a 3000ft vertical descent but i just thought it was a cool idea and at the very least a cool name for a TTF.:filthy:

Ye sounds a good idea but if you dont like the look of something use the chicken runs

im sure u will be fine, like i sed the if the SQ is over gnarly it means u probably shouldnt ride that run.

i think theyve only started doing this above the midstation anyway, as in only the new garbonzo runs...... not too sure
