In case people didn't see the pics in the trailwork posts... there are a bunch of new rocks at Murphy.
We've been working on this project for the last 3 sessions (work started on 10/7), so if you haven't been out to Murphy in the last month, this will be new.
It all starts just before trail marker 63 on the advanced loop. It's all either downhill or flat. :D
Just after the "Technical Feature" Carsonite sign:
1. There is a small rock ramp on the inside of a sweeping left turn... it's easy to miss. (no pic)
2. Followed by a sweeping right turn, then this:

3. Followed by a lefthand turn, a short straight away, then this:

4. Followed by another short straight away, then a 2 section rock garden.
The first section:

The second section is about 7 feet (?) after this longer section, and it's pretty short. It has a rock ramp that allows you to air over the rocks behind it:

5. This is followed by a small bend in the trail, followed by a natural roller. There is a rock ramp on the right side of the trail if you want some extra air off that roller. (no pic)
Enjoy!
