This trail starts as a semi-steep hill and then at the top it has a granite face.
My brother and I couldn't even drag our bikes up it. Almost died that night!

Never go faster in severe dusty conditions than you can see.
When the dust settled I saw there were a "few" rocks.

Here's the girl, wondering w t f we're doing. Note this was when she was still riding a heavy-ass junker 4t. Now that she has a 250 2t, she rails through this section doing a wheelie with only one hand on the bars 
Oh for crying out loud. the title of the pic (w t f, w/o the spaces) is censored?
Fine. Here's an english guy on a borrowed bike. He barely missed me when he went over.

You aren't kidding about dust and unforseen rocks and roots.

My SM front fork rebound is way to stiff, but it helped kicking the front wheel up and over the lip. Cant say the same about the rear.......

These photos are of a little hill we call the Snatch. Nobody has of yet stayed on their bike to the botton. These photos don't begin to show how steep it is.It's located in Southern British Columbia and I'd be glad to show it to anyone who has got a big set of balls.http://www.red450.sm.../gallery/467415

I hit a little like 2" thick root that was angled off to the side and the back end bucked like 60" in one direction. It was really weird.

Some California High Sierra stuff:
A pretty tough stair step section, rider in the background is taking the sneak route around this one.
These two are a section called 'Three Man Trail". If you get stopped like in these two pictures it'll take two or three guys to get the bike to the top, but if you can keep the momentum up and pick the right line you can ride up it. We are both stopped at the same spot in these pics, almost to the top, and the view from above gives a better perspective of how steep it is.

My bike stuck at the top of a steep hill Climb, it was actually still running, I had to dust off climb to the top and kill it, it wasn't very fun getting it down, lost another front brake lever...Check out the right rear side panel.
