the hardest part

This is going to be the toughest part of the build,  some long section of rock armor work to be worked on for the next one week.

the old descent from the horizon hill at tampines bike park requires massive rebuild, specifically a rock garden descent to the feedzone area.

with massive 1 foot deep rut running on this fall-line, we figured the only way this trail going to survive the rain is to have it rocks as part of the riding surface.
