Dry and good traction for the most part.

Thanks to the guy on the Prophet with Fox forks and XTR brakes, learned a new line off you on the Golf Course sniggle where that rock sits right in the way on that left turn berm in the early section before the big roll-downs.

Do you have more information?

If it's the one I'm thinking of it's been getting worse and really kills your momentum through there. I go to the right of it and have to pull around hard to the left afterwards, is there a better way?

There's a couple of flowing corners and this one is good as it get's you thinking and forces you to slow down, pick a line and can make or break your flow! Please trail fairies... don't dig the rock out or place any others around it to make it easier!

I usually go around the outside with the front and let the rear find its own way, but it's been getting increasingly difficult - clip the rock with your front and you're on the deck. I normally get ready to dab just in case. In its current state I might get through without dabbing maybe one in three.

This guy... there's a second rock further to the inside of the corner on the apex. He just popped the front over it and continued on his merry way.

Slower than if you rail the outside, but much faster than if you have to dab and then coast while you get your shoe clipped in again.
