Chris Hardin rippin' the drop...

The most difficult is on the Lower Ridge Trail where it used to squeeze between two trees. This spot was particularly challenging on the descent since it was barely wider than most riders' handlebars, and required a steady hand and sharp eye at speed. 

Well, it's history now, and in its place is a nifty log drop / punchup. that has been constructed from the root ball of one of the trees (which blew down) and sections of the trunk. 

It's still a narrow passage with a right to left angle as you go over it (on the descent). It's also quite steep on the downhill side, but at least there is nothing loose there, like on Big Log Candy further up on the Ridge Trail.

The trick here, by the way, is to carry enough speed to the top and just let it roll over and down the other side.

Yo Mongo, better keep your eyes on the trail, mon...

This stunt is easier to ride both ways, but it can fool you when you come flying around the corner and see the punchup in front of you. Most riders are in way too high a gear at this point, and so they risk running out of gas and not making it up the face of the punchup. 

The drop here is pure fun, and fairly benign, but steep enough to require you to go off the back of the seat to make it and avoiding being hurled over your handlebars.
