slingshot

the final 2 bends before the MICE drop.

these 2 turns are so badly eroded that casual maintenance contractors just simply pour cement into it and causes problem later on.

side wall eroded and the sharp cement get expose, perfect place for ankle biting and knee scraping.

we jump straight to fix the problem with a nice banked turn, introduce drainage before the turn and even reroute the turn further to a flatish section for the 2nd one.
