lets hear everyones names for there favourite track sections.for eg.in the block I play around in i was clearing a lot of regrowth on old dozed cutlines.this section became "slaves and bulldozers".following along that train of thought i now have"loud love","superunknown","until we fall","out of exile",and "drawing flies" which is really "drawing bees" as you pop up out of a gully about 5m from beehives!what do you call yours and why?
And for you aus/kiwi guys/gals,who saw mccullums fastest worldcup50? and is that Charlie sheen bowling for Afghanistan?

your wifes polite!
for the record 'superunknown' and 'until we fall' make up a 800 ft descent over 1km,superunknown is a steep valley full of holes and bluffs either side which cannot be seen until youre in it.'until we fall' is the steepest,gnarliest part of the descent and most likely to catch you out(goin up it is something else altogether)."out of exile" is from when you finally reach the bottom,turn and climb back out the other side,clear the blubber,get on the pipe and up through the box!
 
I love this topic lol. My group discovers / builds hundreds of new sections and destinations a year, so most of the names are situational... "spark plug swamp" because someone fouled a plug.... "strawberry hill" because of the fresh wild berries everywhere. We have to come up with thousands of silly names.
Here's some of my favorites:
-Good for third
-Temple of doom
-The rock waterfall
-The beast
-Clutch cooker pass
-Poplar canyon hell
-No Dan creek
-Hypodermic valley
 
Other available features that were not used this year
O $h!t Hill
Big Waterfall-(down only)
Little Waterfall (up or down)
The Pits
The Gap
Briar Patch
Minnow's Peter Creek
Log Slide
I didn't mention the Enduro-X but we work it in every year
& the main trail through the property is named The Donkey Trail
